You have the option to take either just the first box, or both boxes. In the first it always puts $1,000. In the second it will put either $1 million if it thinks you’ll take just the first box; or $0 if it thinks you’ll take both.

I think that’s slightly wrong. IIRC, the machine will put the million in box 2 if it thinks you’ll only choose box 2.

There has to be a way to get the million for this to work, and the way you laid it out would make it impossible to get the million.

Also, I’m not sure that we, as the chooser, know for sure exactly how accurate the machine is - if we did, and it was 99.99% accurate then it’d be a pretty easy choice to only pick box 2 and thus get the million 99.99% of the time.

I think there has to be some doubt about the machine’s predictive accuracy to make the choice of box 2 only, a risky one.

However I’ve only watched the MinutePhysics video, and I was getting quite confused tbh! 😁

Ha, that’s great.

Already commented on this, but thought of some more:

Isley Brothers: Ohio/Machine Gun - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC6qOvfgDJI (this is a cover of 2 tunes, the first by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, the second by Jimi Hendrix)

And just released today (like, 2 hours ago) - Massive Attack, Tom Waits - Boots on the Ground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-57FrioeuE

I’ve not used it for this purpose, but the (excellent) Photo Editor has a batch edit function and removing metadata appears to be an option:

Not sure if they’re my favourite, but always liked this sequence in Bulls on Parade:

Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war, cannibal animal, I
Walk the corner to the rubble
That used to be a library, line up to the mind cemetery now
What we don’t know keeps the contracts alive and movin’
They don’t gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
Rally 'round the family, pockets full of shells

Ah yeah, that would have been a better choice actually, good shout.

A few suggestions:

• Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall
• RATM - Bulls on Parade
• Dead Kennedys - Kill the Poor

And for a more optimistic, but still defiant take, R.E.M.'s Living Well is the Best Revenge.

He says he posted it, but that it was meant to be him as a red cross doctor. And he can’t see how anyone could think it was meant to be Jesus. Seriously.

David Lynch. His death hit me like a punch to the heart.

Also Adam Yauch (MCA).

For some reason your link didn’t work for me - in case it helps anyone else, here’s the link again:

We had it, yes, but we lost it - I believe that many of the technical plans from Apollo have been lost over the years, so some of this is pretty much reinventing the wheel to get us back to where we were before.

Yeah, but the point is to test the technology which will eventually get people back onto the moon, set up permanent off-Earth habitation, etc. Which in turn will/could be part of future steps for further-reaching exploration. I still think it has value as a building block.

Vaffanculo

Definitely 😁👍

Ah, ok - thanks for sharing! Not heard of that before, will check it out 👍

Doesn’t sound exactly the same, but you may be thinking of Phase IV.

“Amaze Amaze Amaze!”

I loved that 😁

Fun mode: The Asterixiverse. If only for those amazingly delicious-looking wild boars.

Hard mode: The DavidLynchiverse.

They made a US version of Spaced?? This I have to see. It’s SO British in tone.

Found it!
