The choice is very simple for a rationally operating individual who understands the question:
Choose Red to guarantee your own life.
-all other persons who press Red will also survive per the prompt, so there is no rational reason to choose Blue unless you wish to kill yourself or attempt to save others who wish to kill themselves.
Choose Blue to risk your own life at the potential *benefit (*if you could call it that) of saving those who choose Blue out of a failure of rational thinking or desire to kill oneself.
-you must choose this with no guarantee of your own survival or of saving others who choose Blue.
Therefore, the Red button is the only rational option for individuals who are not actively choosing to kill themselves.
