❓Lets see how you folks think. Imagine scenario:
You are members of a criminal gang. You and your partner are arrested and imprisoned. Each prisoner is separated with no means of communicating with the other. If you and your partner both stay silent, you both get 1 year in prison each. Simultaneously, the prosecutors offer each prisoner a bargain - if you betray your partner and tell that he commited crime and you're innocent = you are free, but he gets 3 years in prison or if he betrays you and you stay silent= you get 3 years, he's free. If you both betray each other = you both get 2 years in prison each.
What would you choose ?

I choose:
anonymous poll

Stay silent 😶 – 87

Betray 🗣👮‍♀️ – 20
👍👍 19%

👥 107 people voted so far.

If I decide to create criminal gang I should recruit you folks 😂

⬛ This test is called the prisoners dilemma and its studied by Game Theory.
As you can see there's no outcome for all of the participats to be free. Just like in life we don't always have a chance of choosing good option vs bad. Sometimes it's bad vs bad and you have to choose lesser of evil.
Below video explains game and helps to choose the dominant strategy.

I used similar excuses with my mom when I about 6-8 years old, unfortuantly it didn't work for me...
but apparently it works for US president 😂😂😂 It looks like Trump is about to challenge Bush in presidents stupidity contest. Well, as long as he doesn't get into any stupid war, im cool with any other stupidity. https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1019296692984786944

Right now my attention is focused on learning Game Theory. Would you like to get posts on this topic ?

Yeah ! Happy Birthday Erwin Schrödinger ! And send my best regards to 😺The most famous cat in physics ! (If you never heard about his cat, check out next post).

⬛️ Hey folks ! Check out the video explaning Schrödinger's cat experiment.
Disclaimer: No real cat was harmed in an experiment.

⬛️ Hey folks! The mini quiz above has been conducted for a purpose of indicating one of Game Theory's subjects. In the first choice most of you choose more risky option to win $5mln, however in the second question most have chosen a less riskier option. This inconsistency of choice is called Allais paradox.
Below is the video explaining this paradox with different choice example, but with a similar idea.

⬛️ Hey folks! Have you ever heard phrases like " we use only 5% of our brain" or movies where person's brain is miraculously activates brains full potential and starts doing some unbelievable stuff.
If you believed in all of it, I got bad news It's all a bullshit. We use our brains to almost a full capacity and as it turns out, our brain actually works at full capacity, when we think we're not doing any intellectual work.
It's called - Brain Default Mode. It is latest one of the latest research in brain research.
Below is the interview of Professor of neurology Marcus Raichle who discovered Default mode.
