The restaurant owner said “the customer is always right” and then the customer says “no we’re not” Edit 2022: sorry about this comment, it’s no good

[@bruxinth4660]

Paul’s Existence The owner’s statement sidesteps this problem by his statement that the customer, regardless of if the customer is lying, wrong, or telling the truth, he will always take their statement as true. The customer’s logical statement is not evaluated for truth or false; it can only be true in his eyes because he refuses to take it as anything but true. Software can be programmed to do this exact thing simply by making a scripted function return either a true or false value always regardless of input.

Hey Kevin, i just watched through some of your old videos to be surprised by a new one right now, what a wonderful day. Originally i wanted to write this comment under your other vids but here the chance is higher you see it. Just wanted to say thank you. Your videos are by itself interesting but the way you tell them, especially the ones about the color blue, dragons and the planet behind our eyes are so unbelievably inspiring for me and move me deep down. I just can't put it into words im getting goosebumps by your last sentences of every video. i don't know if i overinterpret but when i think about your words and your sentence the way you said it etc. i eventually get the true meaning behind that and as well in music and in speech thats what i think is the most entertaining. just like suddenly understanding a mathematical equation for me it's so satisfying to grasp the meaning of something someone said. in addition to this brilliant music and the way you tell us about that topic you create not just a piece of work but imho a piece of art that at least for me touches me emotionally. So thank you so much for your inspiring videos and please never stop doing it because if you were i probably wouldn't enjoy to learn anymore at least not as much as i do with your truly magnificient videos. Thank you

[@3SeveredHeads]

Think he's over complicating it... Paradox is as he says... Distinct from.... Our opinion SO it IS a mind teaser because one has an opinion about an outcome (like the tortoise example) that turns out to be "incorrect" ie: Distinct from.. Our opinion!! Of course until its solved...if it ever is 🥴

[@Novasky2007]

No he is just using latin to translate ancient greek like a Pleb. Para - Beyond, Dox - belief

[@Novasky2007]

Modern translation - Mind F%?K

[@DayZ_MobyD]

The breakdown explained what one is however as new information is taken in about the subject the viewers perspective shifts(presumably speaking) meaning shift of opinion so if a paradox is something that does not coincide with the opinion then learning what a paradox really is in terms of definition could clarify or create a "new" paradox for the observer/viewer/etc. (confusion) could be wrong but hey what are comments n forums for if not to learn debate etc.

[@indisou3919]

The Achilles and the Tortoise one seems pretty simple to me even without the infinite-to-finite explanation ngl Achilles can beat the tortoise in the race because he isn't trying to reach the tortoise, he's trying to reach the goal. And since the goal isn't moving, he should reach it before the turtle

[@ChinmaySabharwal123]

In another way, all Achilles needs to do is go to the place where the tortoise will be in the time duration he will reach that point then he can easily overtake it

[@kababuo1989]

Yeah now prove it mathematicly

[@ryapowa]

@@kababuo1989 I mean theoretically if it were a 1km race and the Tortoise had a 100m headstart while sprinting 6m/min while Achillies was running at 633m/min (or 38km/hr), we can calculate that it would take the tortoise 150 minutes while Achillies would take just over a minute and a half. Obviously this isn't wasn't the point of the Falsidical Paradox but simple algebra (by today's standard) and calculus makes quick work of it

[@JO-fs1on]

I think the paradox is not that in the CONCLUSION of the proof "Achilles cannot catch up to the tortoise" as we (and even Zenon) knew it was wrong. The paradox lies (or rather lied) in the why Zenon PROOF is, in fact, not a proof of this conclusion.

[@irrelevant_noob]

@indisou well then just for that case, Zeno also had given us the Arrow paradox, in that even with a stationary goal, the subject (Achilles or an arrow) wouldn't be able to get there, since first it would need to reach the half-way point, then the middle between that and the goal, then the next middle, and so on. For infinity. :-B

Yeti Man not necessarily a paradox, “it’s” is extremely ambiguous to the point where it’s prima facie doubtful that the statement “it’s Opposite Day” possesses truth-value at all (propositional content), making it possibly unfit to be called a paradox at all, as opinions are nearly always supported by propositional content. In other words, it is quite possibly impossible for you to authentically hold the opinion “it’s Opposite Day” in any useful, communicative sense.

I find a better version of zeno's paradox theory is this: Imagine you're a runner in a race, to get to the end you need to get to the halfway point, to get to that halfway point you need to go to the halfway point of that, and then the halfway point of that halfway point, ext. It will go on forever, but we can't run for an infinite amount of halfway but somehow we do. I find that way easier than the archilles and the tortoise one.

[@brianaple]

The classic calculus example is shooting an arrow at a target. How long will it take to reach the target? Divide the distance traveled in half. It has taken some amount of time to travel the first half. Now divide the second half of the distance in half again. Again the first part takes some amount of time to be added. We can keep dividing the distance left to travel in increasingly smaller parts which all take some small amount of time. An infinite amount of distances to travel that each take a bit of time must add up to an infinite time. Now just use the idea of limits. As x goes to infinity y goes to 1 so y=1

This isn’t a parallel because at a point your halfway point is so small you physically have nothing that can parallel its size. Even when you reach the smallest building blocks of our earth(atoms). You would still be theoretically one atom away from the finish line. And from there on there is no way to reach another halfway point. Because there is nothing in between that atom and the atom making up the finish line it is obvious you would finish the race.

I thought the water stayed there because the earth and it’s core is hot or am I thick, I thought that it was chemically easier to keep water at liquid state and the pressure of the water/earth or atmosphere kept the water at liquid state because if you pressurise ice it turns to water, liquid form, as water(l) is more dense (hence why ice floats). And this explains why very cold planets still have deep seas with thick layers of ice as at some point in the pressure and as you get closer to the centre of the planet the water can no longer freeze regardless of how cold it actually is

Paradox: Two people with PhD's (pair o' docs). :) For the Monty Hall problem, the key is that Monty has knowledge of the system (and you do not). When he opens one door, it is NOT random. He has to ensure that the prize remains hidden. Basically if you originally choose a wrong door (and that will happen 2 out of 3 times) Monty is forced to show you where the prize is, by default, by opening the only other non-prize door that he has available.

[@ripopol]

note that the monty hall problem was never actually a fact on the show, there was no rule saying he HAD to open a door at all, and there was no rule that he HAD to allow you to switch. if these exact circumstances happened it'd be favourable to switch yes, but the fame of the paradox has misled people in regards to the show itself

IKR! Will this help me win the lottery???

[@lrmcatspaw1]

There is a problem with that solution: there are two assumptions: 1. you are counting the probability of the original choice (there where 3 envelopes, so now you choose 1 out of 3 but with one being not in your interest to be chosen). 2. you are counting the probability as if the discarted choice never existed. Depending on your assumption, you get 50/50 or 66.6/33.3. In mathematics you cannot just remove one of the options, in real life you can. The theory behind that idea is that since in one of the two options you get 50/50 and in the other you get 66.6/33.3, you want to go with the one that has a higher chance, meaning the 66.6 (assuming that you still have 3 envelopes). Here is where this breaks down: You cannot assume the 66.6/33.3 probability because the real life situation is that you still have to choose 1 of two options. If you were to assume that the opened envelope is still part of the probability, you should still be able to choose it (there is no rule against it, it simply doe not make sense to do so because you dont want that). Because probability does NOT account for what you want or dont want and it assumes that all 3 envelopes are still "of the same value", you get the wrong impression that switching is the winning strategy. If you want to see it with numbers, the way you WOULD look at it is in a different way (by leaving the 3rd envelope open for choosing but by assigning the VALUE of that envelope to you): Before the host opens the envelope you don want here is the situation: Door 1. Value 33.3 Door 2. Value 33.3 Door 3. Value 33.3 After he opens it: Door 1. Value 50. Door 2. Value 50. Door 3. Value 0. You still get tho chose door 3 if you want, but since for you the value of that door is now 0, its like it does not exist. Thats how I see it :D. EDIT: also, please understand that probability only works when there is a high enough sample. With 1 sample (one person being in the show once), probability is NOT an accurate form of guiding your decisions.

[@kylemilford8758]

dosduros you're right the sample data is small. But the only problem with your solution is discarding the 3rd letter does not change the card in your hand. It does however change our unknown door number 2.. basically its now door 1 (your card) 33% unchanged (you always had a 1 in 3 to pick that card). Doors remaining is a 50/50% door 3 is trash and is now only 16% half its value is gone 50% of 33.. the value of switching is you get the data from every other door available. You're choosing them all! Even the trash. So you add that 16.5% from opened trash card, add it to the 50% chance of door number 2 and you're left with 1) 33% 2) 66% 3)0%

[@lrmcatspaw1]

Kyle, I think there is some punctuation mark missing somewhere because your comment is hard to read. Dont understand where you get the Door 3 16% value. If you say doors remaining is a 50/50, there cannot be an additional 16 somewhere.

A better way to imagine the Monty hall problem is by changing the 3 options to 100 options. You randomly choose 1 out of the 100 options, but then the host opens up 98 other doors, all devoid of the prize. With a larger sample, it seems much more logical to switch.

Why would I still switch? 😂 It is still after all 50/50 from the remaining options. Edit: Aaaaand now I got the idea. Took a while 😂 That is indeed a great way to explain this.

[@oxybe]

the monte haul is easier to imagine if you put waaaaaay more doors. like 10000. if the prize is behind one door and the 9999 others have zonks, after choosing your one door the host opens 9998 other doors, all zonks, leaving you with only 2 closed doors containing one zonk and your grand prize. at this point you can choose between switching or keeping. the chances uou made the right choice before was 1/10000, which is very unlikely. it's much more likely that the winning door is one of the 9999 you didn't choose. now that the host has narrowed down your choices to "the 1/10000 longshot" and "last of the 9999/10000 unchosen doors that likely held the prize" which do you choose? it's a trick, they both contain the Globgogabalab as he is both a prize and a curse.

[@DevonParsons697]

My favorite way of explaining the Monty Hall paradox is this: Imagine there are millions and millions of doors, and you choose one. Monty opens door after door, but you are steadfast and never opt to switch, instead holding on to your initial choice. Eventually there are two doors - one that you picked, and one that Monty picked (he chose this one to be opened last by choosing every other door before it). Now, what do you think is more likely - you picked correctly the first time, with the millions of options presented to you? Or Monty picked correctly, given that *he already knows where the prize is*? Obviously Monty just opened every door except for where he knew the prize was. You are overwhelmingly more likely to win if you switch. Well, the same is true with 3 doors, but the numbers are smaller.

[@Prakriti2041]

If the guy who had to open Millions of doors. Left the prize door last intentionally can you trust him? If he knows you have the option to switch. And you think switching improves your odds.. maybe Id stick to my door.
