Interesting social experiment. I pressed Blue. Ideally, everyone would press Blue to save everyone. But then the doubt creeps in if everyone would do the communal choice. So far, it seems I'd be dying...

What if it was framed this way?

Every human stands in front of a massive woodchipper.
You can either jump into the woodchipper or not.
The woodchipper has a design flaw - if more than 50% of humanity jumps in, it will break and everyone survives. If less than 50% do it, those people will die. What do you do?

Not jump 🤔 for some reason my immediate response in this framing is to not jump, but with the buttons, I stopped to ponder it more thoroughly. Though I think I was wrong to think people would think in terms of what's best for the group instead of in self-intetest
