How do you guarantee that everyone will choose to save themselves? If even one person chooses blue, they will die. Your choice to push red will kill them.
The only way to guarantee that everyone survives, is if the majority choose blue. Then it just requires a simple majority to save everyone, rather than 100%.
Its the simple logic of it. Anyone who reads the scenario can see that no one will die if everyone presses red. Therefore pressing blue is essentially like just choosing to die. Its choosing unnecessarily to put yourself to death. Yes you might not die but everyone pushing red is the most rational way to make sure everyone lives who wants to live.
Id argue selfishness guarantees no one would die.
