> red is for people who live in this world and accept it

Red is for people who don't think beyond the end of their nose. Okay, you're very smart and understand statistics, but what about the following groups: friends, family, spouses? If they don't pick red, and they die, would you say life is completely fine because there's less "dumb" people or would you possibly think: "hmm, it kinda sucks that they died, maybe I should've picked blue?"

GP is correct that red is the anti-social / myopic option.

If this was a real thing I’d pick red and then stand outside the red/blue clinic with a sign urging everyone to pick red.

Why wouldn't they?
