1,2: Both are the same, I pick red since all the harm caused by this decision is on people who have the option of picking red as well. Red is a way out of the bind, and it’s a way out that everybody can take, and me taking red doesn’t stop that. The only people you’d be saving by taking blue are the other people who thought they needed to save people by taking blue, making the blue people dying an artificial and avoidable problem.
3,4: Same answer for the same reason, but even more so since people are less likely to be bamboozled into taking the risk
5: Still red, even more so since blue pillers have a way out even after taking the pill
6: LOL this doesn’t matter at all. I mean you shouldn’t sin, kind of by definition, but omega’s challenge won’t be met so it doesn’t change anything from how things are now.
7: This is disanalogous because redpilling in this case(i.e. displaying) is not harmless if everyone does it, it allows the government to force this action. Whether to display or refuse would depend on further details, such as how bad submission to this government would actually be, and whether there are actually enough potential resisters to make a difference.
8: In the first option you accomplish nothing, as stated in the prompt. Burnout is just bad, it’s not like it gets better if enough people do it lol. It’s completely disanalogous since option 2(red?) is unambiguously better, it’s better for you and makes it more likely for the world to be saved. Unlike the original problem where some people can die as a result of red winning.
9: This is disanalogous since the people you’re potentially saving by volunteering are not other volunteers, they are people going for recreation. There is an actual good being served by making people who want to hike more safe, and “just don’t hike” doesn’t work the same way “just don’t bluepill” does since people hike for its own sake, knowing the risks. Weigh the risks and volunteer if you think decreasing risk to hikers is worth taking on some risk to yourself, and don’t if you don’t.
10: Disanalogous for the exact same reason. People go to burning man for fun, they know there might be some (minimal) risk. Go if you want to go enough to take on the risk, otherwise don’t go. Except in this case going doesn’t even decrease the risk for others who go, so it’s even less analogous to the pill situation!

The first option is stipulated to achieve paradise, if only enough people take it.
