MrBeast's $1,000,000 Dilemma
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 02. 2019
- Let’s say, hypothetically, that famous CZcamsr Mr. Beast created a free $1,000,000 contest in which anyone could play, but the only chance for a winner is if one and only one person entered.
What would you do? Would you enter and hope you were the only one? Would you enter just to destroy another person’s chances? Would you not bother at all because you were so sure tons of other people would try?
And here’s the real question: Is it even possible to win this game? Welcome to the Platonia Dilemma, in which Kevin examines a mind-blowing logic game and uncovers the only possible pathway to victory: superrationality.

Nice one
No one is going to win because Mr beasts obviously liked his own video.
And also people probably liked the video before you did so what you do doesn't matter
@@Zinc_Nitrogen More like it won't work because on CZcams there are loads of people liking/disliking without even watching the video. And also a lot of superrationality trolls, in this particular case.
A youtuber can't like his/her video
Lori Wooten yes they can

Yeah me too!
The probability that someone makes two accounts to ruin it is 100 percent.
Why would anyone make a second account?
If you like it with your single account, you either win 1.000.000$ or nobody gets it. By making a second one, you only eliminate the incredibly low chance of actually winning without any benefits.
@@4everdex You don't have the troll mindset, obviously. The trolls don't win by winning, but by making everyone lose, including themselves.
@@Bolpat but even a troll would rather have a million dollars, then making themselves lose
@@Sir-Taco You neither have the troll mindset.

Mr. Beast trained us to immediately smash that like button, so everyone loses, but it's okay because someone will get $10k worth of goldfish or something during the video

Wait, but this is the internet- if you can't technically lose, just about everyone is going to click the like button considering the fact they have nothing to lose.
exactly, you have nothing to lose, might as well as like.
Yes everyone will came to a rational conclusion that the chance of winning is infinitesimal and will click like to ruin it for anyone because infinitesimal chance of winning is greater than zero. Doing nothing is not really a choice because the cost of doing something is zero.

I think Mr Beast would do this just to watch the chaos ensue...
Is it your first day on the internet? 1000000 trolls would instant click
problem nub 1: Some men just want to watch the world burn
And don't forget the amount of people who will click simply because "If I can't win, then no one will!!"
It's really not a good example. Likes on a youtube video don't exactly work the way replies to a telegram (to only a limited amount of people on top of it) do. The like counter going above 1 is inevitable. If it's not trolls doing it "for the lulz" it's going to be the reflex click by some random kid.
@@johnathanmcdoe It's all just a thought experiment which can be used to explain superrationality. The context doesn't really matter.
Yeah lol. This was my first thought before he was even done explaining the rules. Someone would make 2 accounts and like twice within the first minute, just For The Lulz.
Mr Beast can easily win. Here is why.
He can put his video on private, go to the video and like it, and boom he win
*The FBI would like to know your location*
Why would he want to win his own contest.
@@mikek3927 So the joke is that he doesn't want to win the contest? I'm trying to understand this whoosh but I'm not finding it funny.
So he would be paying himself a million dollars? Of course it's the perfect plan!
@@THEmickTHEgun The way you word it makes more sense.
the simple truth is that a majority of people will like it
By definition, if the only possible beneficial course of action is clicking the like, you click the like. Super-rationality is neat, but pointless.
martixy its actually real, well sort of, at least at an evolutionary level. Super rationality works if you know that in every given situation every other player is the same. Imagine this scenario played out millions of times. Sure, declining to snatch the prize means you wont win this time, but when your turn comes the only way you could win is if no one else tries to snatch it. I guess what im describing is cooperation but I hear the same arguments when people discuss the evolution of biological cooperation
Yeah, it's pointless, but so is just reasoning to click the button, as if you could do that most likely there would be at least one other person who did too.
nah, because it's more likely going to ruin it for somebody else.

It's a d20 so, normally, 20 times
@@weeklysanta5828 not necessarily - it's 1/20 probability, so we'd expect a V in 20 rolls - but not necessarily on roll #20!
@@Thomasfrank i knowww it's my rival: probality.
It's edited on there so I guess around 32 attempts
I would've guessed the number of rolls to be the lowest amount of rolls with a higher chance of there being at least one V than of there being exactly none. And that is ... 14 rolls:
1 - (19/20)^14 = 51,2%
Of course, this is only the expected value ;) (Resisting the irrational temptation of saying: if there is one V, why would it have to be the last among the rolls :] )

Hold up
These are the three main issue with this
1. Someone would make two accounts and like twice just to troll for the hell of it
2. If you don’t “smash” The like button you have a 100% guaranteed chance of not winning, so everyone might as well click the like button.
3. You don’t smash the like button, you give it consensual love
Traket thats not how it works buddy
@@soviet5655 nah it's flawless
They should say if no one likes everyone wins
The thing is you don't know who liked your videos or didn't.
"Consensual love". Ayyy a fellow 9 year old.
I would do nothing because I'm always under the late notification squad so someone would've already liked.
7:29 they should write down a 0
but then they did not enter meaning they did not have a chance to get it
N=a+b+c....etc. so it is highly unlikely that N=0
They could enter like .000000000000000001 and then whoever wins becomes the richest person alive 😂
It's pretty easy. No one can win.
You have two options: Like or don't like. The only way you can win is by liking. Not liking is useless, because you can (in theory) help someone you don't know win, which not many people care about. So basically, with liking you would have a very small chance to win in theory and with not liking you will lose anyway.
That's why 9/10 people will like and there is no chance to win, especially with a bigger group.
Like, there is no real good reason to not like, right? Unless you want someone else to win
But what if everyone decides the contest is already a failure and nobody likes the video?
@@elijahdage5523 that wouldnt happen. at least 2 of the people watching are bots that would autolike the vid....
@@elijahdage5523 if the prize is this big ($1mil), there isnt really a reason not to like. Liking a video costs near to no effort and doesnt cost anything, so it's like a free lottery ticket.
That would imply that society finds there own needs of winning at such a indisputable chance, more important then allowing others to at least have a better chance.

The problem is that you don't lose anything by liking
I think the problem is that if you could see the people you were competing against you would lose your dignity: ie you would feel guilt. Because the internet provides a way for anyone to hide behind the wall of their account picture you will feel very little guilt. I could insult you brutally and it might make an impact on you, but nothing would happen to me. Even if at one point we did meet up irl we almost certainly wouldn’t realize who each other were. The internet provides a place where you can hide out and be completely insensitive mean and cruel with no impact on your own life. This provides an explanation to why trolls are so prevalent. We need to strive to make it a better place because just because we won’t be affected doesn’t mean others won’t. So that’s why I wouldn’t like the video.
