You didn’t even bother reading what I wrote.

For me, blue is the purely selfish choice. Because I have no interest in living in a world where red wins a majority on this one. It’s not even a tough call.

You aren't interested in living in a world where people are generally unwilling to risk their lives for no benefit beyond the possibility of contributing to saving the lives of people who don't need saving (as they can trivially save themselves)?
Of course not.
What would you do if you found out that this world were such a world?

Because I sincerely think it is such a world, no matter what a Twitter poll says.

The only way to find out would be for this thought experiment to actually occur, in which case I would do nothing, because I would be dead.
