Also, some people are driven by a desire to be “The One” - whatever “the one” may be. If it is common knowledge to all 8 billion Earth inhabitants that there is a big red button located somewhere in the world, and that if one - just one - person presses it, it will cause the extinction of all humanity, there are some mentally unstable people who would lust to push it, just to be “The One.”
I can imagine that there’d be any number of solipsists who’d be willing to push the button. I don’t think they’re crazy; they’re just, you know, the only ones who exist.

It’s a heavy burden to bear. :(
But then they’d only be willing to commit suicide, technically. Right?
