This is a thought experiment. It uses a hypothetical and oftentimes somewhat ridiculous situation to help get us to the core of a deeper philosophical or scientific question. This one being: Is there anything about you that’s irreplaceable? If some kind of computerized robot-clone were to replace your body, mind and memories, would that new you be enough to fool your parents, siblings, best friend or partner? Or would there be a vital, unseen, internal piece of you missing? Something that can’t be quantified physically.

Hello Aperture !!
Hey Mike, I really liked your previous video on Black Panther. So happy that you made a case study on that character. You did point out the practicality of the existence of that story world very well. I just wanna encourage you to make more videos on that topic. It can be a segment for your channel "Understanding Superheroes". My simple advice, try to lean more onto the psychology on these superheroes, and more importantly... why do we need them, what do they represent. NOT in terms of political or identity representation. For example, Spider-Man represents responsibility. Batman represents vengeance. Superheroes have been gaining popularity for years now, yet so many people are experiencing something called "superhero fatigue". Maybe it's because there are too many superhero movies out there, maybe when comic writers create such characters they don't bother why we need them... of course, they're comics, they're just for fun, in a little magazine. They don't mean much. But they're still stories. And some stories can mean a lot to people who love those characters. Especially when these celebrated characters are on big screen. But this doesn't change the fact that the world's experiencing a fatigue right now. Some of these revered characters are losing their value. If only someone like you could make the world understand the brilliance and the importance of these characters, outside the scope of the movies, tv-shows & comic books (Movies and comics can sometimes bring down the value of these characters).
@Aperture Can you do a video on if the One piece was real?
Hello, if you would write about a Subject for a year, it has to have some connection too philosophy or sociology, what would you write about?
Hi! I found your channel today it 2am in my country and instead of going to sleep and well rested tommorow in uni And work im just watching random videos of yours. Great job love it.Thanks!
Cat: _meows_
Shrödinger: I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that
😂
That is funny🤣🤣🤣
Shrödinger: "shut up"
Meme aside, this is actually a pretty good point
Schrondinger : The box doesnt conduct sound.💀
Weirdly enough (call me crazy) not too long ago, I had a gripping feeling of this. My 15 year old daughter and I had just ran through the rain into my car. Within seconds, there was a massively bright light produced by a lightning bolt, that completely enveloped both of our vision in its entirety. Literally a pure white flash, to which I couldn’t even see my steering wheel 12inches in front of me, briefly. We both looked at each other in awe, before I spoke without even thinking “I feel like that lightning just killed us, and we are now continuing our lives in a parallel universe” To which she replied, “can that really happen?” I didn’t answer with words, I just answered with perplexity on my face, as I put my car in drive and continued with “this life”
Wtf… 😮
Spiritually gifted people can tell you more about this. Timelines is what you are looking for.
I don't know about this myself, but watch it since even Einstein and Tesla wrote about this possibility
It would make sense for you to think that after the sudden strike of lightning, at least to me.
The robot wouldn't be as depressed as I am. Parents would notice.
Very true 😂
Actual depression is "in" the brain
@@trexitooo iirc isn’t it like a problem with reuptake of serotonin?
@@phi1688 For some people. There’s no way we can have this prevalence of depression simply because of that though. It’s our toxic, capitalistic society :(
The real question is which they’d love more
I would love a mini series on quantum level science for complete noobs like myself. Great work as always!
right? Im actually sitting here not really understanding anything, yet I cant stop watching
Well I think schrodingers cat just illustrates that an event may or may not happen unless we provide any measurement or observation. Same in. A quantum mechanics it means that there are two atoms a pair that can be anything at the same time unless it is observed or measured that is called superposition, basically from what I know it just means that everything in this world has a pair(subatomic level) that have different states. Thats where the many world theory comes from. For example ur overthinking about ur partner cheating on you. Well unless you are there to observe what she/he is doing you wont have a definite answer thats where u participate in many world theory. It is suggesting that she/he can be cheating on you right now and at the same time they’re not at the same time they may break up with you right now or they may not so basically there is infinite possibility on something but unless we observe it we wont know for sure and even if we did observe it we dont know if maybe somewhere in the universe a different earth that is the same as we have same people same person you and ur partner the same but one of those outcomes happens in that world or all of those outcomes happens in all different worlds. I hope I explained it really well idk😂🤷🏽♂️
Watch the Hulu miniseries DEVS. It’s a narrative but the plot is based on a lot of these things.
just use any search engine, I'm sure you can understand it yourself given enough time
I think the Schrodingers cat experiment was meant to point out the limitations of current quantum mechanics ideas since in reality a cat cannot be both alive and dead simultaneously. It has an actual state in the box that has yet to be observed
no, look up superposition, the cat is literally both dead and alive yet upon observation the universe 'flips a coin'
@@alexgetta4304 My understanding of the topic is that Schrodingers thought experiment was explicitly intended as a critique of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. He refers to the experiment as an absurd situation and its intended to raise a few questions, like at what point does the system change state and what should count as measurement or observation. When thought about on a macroscopic scale (i.e when thinking about cats) many assumptions of quantums mechanics fall apart. Cats can't actually be simultaneously alive and dead. Even Einstein himself critiqued quantum mechanics by asking does the moon cease to exist when you stop observing it. He considered it to be an incomplete theory. Bohr's interpretation of quantum mechanics posits that the cat reaches a final state of either alive or dead _before_ it is observed and the act of observation just let's you know the state.
From a mathematical point of view, it isn't assumed that the cat is _literally_ both alive and dead simultaneously but rather that there is _equal probability_ that it is either alive or dead and you dont know which until it is observed. In other words, once you observe the cat you know for certain that its either alive or dead and before that you make assumptions about the probability of what state it's in.
@@stemcareers8844 You are very smart, thank you
When you start to abandon basic laws of logic, you can be sure that whenever you use the abandonment of them as a base for your theories, you will be wrong.
It is absurd to claim something can both be and not be. It is impossible. It doesn't exist and cannot.
Somebody cannot be tall and short, by definition.
Something cannot be 800kg and 10kg at the same time.
A cat cannot be alive and dead, at the same time.
@@geniuz4093 Thank you
Therapist: so what do you think made you realize your goin insane?
Me: sends them this video
The barber conjecture, if the barber never shaved himself then he must shave himself but only once and after he does he switches to the other category therefore he can no longer shave himself.

your videos are really consistent and they are always excellent
. keep up the good work brother !
Thank you for your support, I appreciate it!
"What if I told you, you died last night and your body and mind has been replaced by an exact replica of you..... Prove it."
Gaslighting at it's finest. Why do I have to prove something some random dude told me about my existence. Isn't it supposed to be that person who has to prove that what they told you is the reality, not the other way around?
That's not gaslighting. Gaslighting is subtle mental abuse intended to get people to question their sanity. This is something you can dismiss on the face of it because it's irrelevant. It's just another way to think of the transporters in Star Trek.
Don't have to prove anything -- I'm ME. Doesn't matter if I'm the same guy as yesterday or not, as long as everyone else accepts me in his place.
I’m never going to understand the relevance of Schrödinger's cat.
Is it the same as “if I close my eyes there is no one else in my world”? Or just the concept?
I thought I was alone in this thought! I agree with you.
Exactly. The cat isn't both dead and alive; it's just the observer who doesn't know yet, which changes nothing about reality. That's why I look at Schrödinger's Cat from a kind of 'in the eye of the beholder' perspective.
@@basv yeah exactly, maybe its deeper than i know. If someone else comes they don't even know there's a cat there. Just some mad guy saying there's a cat that's both dead and alive in the box.
Today's sponsor was a life saver, I was about to suffocate to death by the highly abstract theory
A young friend told me a question for a school exam was what would you do if you had no money for a relatives operation, would you rob a bank, or let the relative die? I was horrified that a school could ask such a thing. It suggests that you only have two choices, when in reality you can find other ways to rectify the problem.
Same goes for the thumbnail conundrum. If you use your brain, you will find alternative strategies.
If the rob a bank option involves no risk, simply meaning I will do something unlawful, then absolutely I would do it to save my relative.
@@RGC_animation That’s not really the issue I was talking about. No one should be forced into that choice. In other words people could get a second job, borrow some money such as a mortgage, or from a friend. There are too many ways to list them all, but I am saying that people have more choices than those two that you’re referring to. I for one would not break the law, and I would fight tooth and nail to come up with a better alternative. That is what the school should be teaching people, that there are more choices than the two that they gave them
Where would we be in any country if they were the only two choices given for such a scenario? It’s insane that they are not teaching people to overcome such obstacles by different means.
“If to rob a bank involves no risk.” Don’t think you are living in the modern world. Forensic techniques and other methods make it a high probability that robbing a bank means you will get caught. This is aside from so many other problems that could go wrong, those who commit crimes have the same mentality that they won’t get caught, while they contemplate this behind bars.
I’ve died a few times but never seem to get a better body afterwards!
What if the barber was growing a beard, with no need to shave
In answer to the thumbnail, I will choose your son. I will save that 5 people.
“You died last night and an exact clone of your mind and body with all your thoughts and memories was made. You can’t disprove it.”
Me: MUM, DID I DIE LAST NIGHT?
My mum: No.
Disproved baby!
Actually though this video is great and really interesting
Suddenly she glitches through the floor
When in the mother of love did cloning of mind had started, thoughts. I laughed when I heard that , good timepass in the name of riddle or philosophy.
It's not you cah it ain't your soul.. It just has your memories.
@@Darkest_matter I can tell I’ve got my soul though lmao also my mum would notice if I died 😂
I didn't die last night, some other guy did. I'm the NEW guy. But I'll happily take the old guy's stuff... not like he'll be needing it.
Now i have doubts on my own existence 🤯
I can't believe something I've always thought about is a real thought experiment, I've always thought what if when we died unnaturally you died in that world and then your consciousness woke up in another alternate reality without knowing you actually 'died' before
Sometimes I think something similar happened to me, about 20 years ago I took 536 sleeping pills and supposedly didn't die but woke up in a hospital but everything in this life/world has seemed "off" since then. Sometimes I think I might be in hell.
@@truckguy8613 not the kind of thing a person usually calls bluff on but a large over the counter bottle of sleeping pills is 120 tablets (prescription bottles are 30). Something doesn’t sit quite right about imagining a person having the stomach capacity for 4.5-17 bottles of sleeping pills. Can’t see a world where your body wouldn’t force you to throw up at least once in that process
@@ThatOGOne nope you're wrong back then they sold over the counter bottles with 250 each and I took two entire bottles plus 36 prescription ones and wasn't found for 14 hours and here I am still alive.
@@truckguy8613 okay truck guy well I hope you’re doing better these days
@@ThatOGOne oh yeah no more suicide attempts if that's what you mean. I've always had an insanely high tolerance for drugs and alcohol tho.
The train would definitely be hitting the 5 people in the thumbnail. No sleep lost after lol
Facts 😂❤
Thanks man you really helped my overthinking problem
In reality, Schroedinger's Cat is silly. The cat is either dead or alive. Just because you don't know which it is, doesn't change that reality. It can't be both alive or dead. It's a measurement problem, not a reality problem.
for the very first question; now the exact same situation but i don’t do drugs and my first time i overdosed on a laced edible. the next few weeks i was scared i wasn’t actually living and just living in my mind until i realized that i didn’t think my brain was capable of creating new things i haven’t seen before. like a new person i just met or a new video from aperture that explains things i’ve never heard of. anyway crazy experience
0:00 here and already starting off with a thought that has kept me up all night lol
If a chicken said "all chickens lie" is it lying or telling the truth?
Idk but if it’s speaking to me I’ve got bigger questions
Amazing and even crazier to me personally that i knew everything he mentioned in the video and studied it before to some extent. Im proud of myself for representing this. Love everybody and your souls
🤓
Small correction, Schroedinger did not create his thought experiment "to help us understand quantum mechanics", it was the exact opposite. He didn't like the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and he was trying to explain why he didn't like it with the experiment. He felt that by showing that under the interpretation you could come up with really silly, ridiculous results, it implied a flaw in their understanding at the time. Macroscopic systems like "a cat" being in a superposition defies all rational experience of the world as it exists.
Of course, we know now that the Copenhagen interpretation has more or less held up under scrutiny and is still the most commonly taught interpretation of quantum mechanics today. It's one of several great ironies in physics that Schroedinger's example is used as the most basic, intro level explanation nowadays.
I THINK he eventually came around on the Copenhagen interpretation later, but it's been a long time. Maybe someone else knows for sure. We do know Einstein, in a similar position (He was in fact the creator of the ERP paradox that Schroedinger was responding to when he came up with his own counter thought experiment of the cat), regretted his criticisms of the Copenhagen interpretation towards the end of his life, and Schroedinger died later than Einstein.
We can also say we live in a multi dimensional plane where each second is a piece in a dimension.
Linking that to seconds would be incredibly arbitrary.
Okay on that train situation i think it's a no brainer to keep it on course to hit the five people. Those five people are on train tracks with a train coming towards them which ultimately is their fault. The person who is alone is also on train tracks but they are safe for the time being. If i use the switch i'm then targeting the man who could've been under the impression he was safe on the tracks. Which i feel is a lot worse than letting the events unfold naturally
Yes. Those five people definitely have no brain.
Absolutely love this channel man!!! 🥲
Thank you for your support! 🙂
The impossible Barber is a mathematical quandary that simply relates zero as having value or not
You forgot to mention that in the myth of the cave of Plato, the person that goes outside then gets killed by his mates.
You forgot the part where he can’t look around because there is too much light. He can first see the shadows, then can see something and the sky through the reflections on the water at night (it represents the mathematics). Then he’s able to look at the sky and the sun. He could stay there with the knowledge, but the human wants to stay with others with the need of politics.
There are also the humans that move the shadows projected on the wall of the cave to influence other people apparent opinion. They cast copied versions of real life objects (3d, colors) and show them only as a shadow on the wall.
Etcetc. My dear reader I hope I have started into you a need to go deeper into this 😊
no because theres nothing to dig depper into
That first one is pretty much what the movie Swan Song is about. It does a fantastic job of representing the concept.
Mom- Good morning son...
Me, who knows I died:... so mom, hear me out
If the one person on the tracks is my kid, I'm definitely letting the train hit the 5.
If it's someone else, I'd switch the tracks so there's only one on my conscience instead of 5.
I can't imagine there's a single decent person out there who would sacrifice their own blood for 5 randoms. At least I'd hope not
I wouldn't do anything even if it's not my child. Because if I don't do anything, I am not actively killing other people, it's simply their destiny (if you believe in that) that they die at that time. If I switch, I'm actively killing someone, who without my intervention wouldn't have died.
@@thelawyer95 I can respect that, my friend.
I'm not sure if I believe in fate or destiny though. It removes free will from the equation. Plus side? Nothing I've ever done wrong is my fault....lmao
@@gileadbot19 Yeah i guess it's a matter of you believe in free will. I don't. I think everything is pre determined. Call it fate or destiny.
@@georgepsychedelic9318 it's determined that I look before I pass the road. Furthermore, it's in my DNA to look, humans have an survival instinct. I just can not not look before doing dangerous things.
@@georgepsychedelic9318 Well then you could argue that it was predetermined whether you would look both ways before crossing. If it was, then you don't get hit. If it wasn't, you get hit.
I would say my clone is only capable of what I know and will not know how to deal with new situations that I have not yet discovered.
I sure do love this channel...thank you for the amazing videos
Somehow I knew the first comment would make me long for the world where people are smarter
Does that mean the robot know about the sock?
So you're telling me I spawn an alternate reality every time I decide to take a leak?
yes
A lot of thought experiments have no basis in what real events are actually like, but I suppose they can be useful to illustrate a point. I think that when you are talking about a particular model for the behavior of real events, the model is likely not providing the hoped-for explanatory power when the course of events modeled gets bizarre. Time for a new model with greater explanatory power.
My answer to the first question is that the clone would be slightly different. It would need time to process the way I think because it is very hard to comprehend one's thought in their perspective, no matter how accurately close you are to understanding what they are saying or describing to you. To an artist, their painting has much more meaning to it than the mountain most people see in the background of it. This is because of their unique perception of reality versus the observer's perception. It varies from a slightly different to a very different way of viewing something or someone, so a cloned version of myself would only be slightly different, but the difference probably would not be as noticeable.

@@btjhlp Yes
Bruh ever since I first heard that “you died and were replaced”, I get existential anxiety because I actually can’t say for certain whether or not its true. Sometimes I wonder if it was better to not consider these type of things, at least for me personally.
the trolley problem is really so difficult if both track has a close loved one (example your mother and your lover) so the only way where you would choose to let 5 people die is when only 1 close loved one
I never saw that as a difficult problem. Save anyone I happened to value for whatever reason, and otherwise do whatever gets me in the least trouble (which would be the "Save more people" tactic).
@@stevenscott2136 yeah we want to appear better than what we are, but your is the solution. I knew it but I feel it isn’t so correx
Cool Worlds also did a very good video on Quantum Entanglement recently, very interesting stuff.
Hey! I have been searching for that video of theirs, about the Many-worlds theory. Do you know what's the title of that vid of theirs?
3:27 Marvel Cinematic Multiverse in the real world be like
tbh I would save my loved one, or someone I know even if I didn't love them because strangers dying won't really affect me that much
Throw the switch half way so the train derails. Depending on how fast it is going the group of people should be smart enough to get the fuck out of the way before being hit.
For the trolley experiment, You walk away
Exactly. Why should I actively kill one person? The other would die no matter if I'm there or not. It's their destiny.
I looked at the everyplate stuff and it looks like it would be really good for average people. its 5.49 per meal. For me personally it would be good but only temporarily because right now I'm bulking and the meals are super high cal but they arent high protein either. the avg around 800kcals on the high end and 650kcals on the low end. protein is b/t 30-37 from what I have seen. Honestly a really good deal for non-atheletes though
Leave a cat in a box long enough and it’s dead without you checking in.
The answer is easy for me, if it was my child I'd let the other five die without a second thought but it wasn't that I'd save the five like it was simple math.
That's the weird thing about humans, we are all different. Not all of us will have the moral compass to care more than we should.
Looking back on such a decision...I would not feel regret about who I could have saved. I would be grateful that I was at the right time and place to have the ability to save anyone in the first place regardless of my choice that day.
I have the moral compass to care for the few.
2:50 - No, it wasn't intended to help us understand QM, but was a way for Schrödinger to throw shade on those putting forward the Copenhagen interpretation of QM.
I left work once and had a very strong impression of dying by suicide in my car in my garage by attaching a hose to the exhaust and having the other end in the car with me.
I thought about mycwife and kids I was leaving behind and knowing they didnt give a shite about me and only saw me as a resource. I remember thinking that life could've been different if I came out as gay but never had the strength to.
What was weird about this that I came out as gay, never had a wife and kids and don't owm a car.
I felt part of me slip away in death and KNEW another version of me inva parallel reality had just killed himself. It was sad and I felt sorry for him and wished he'd made other choices in life so that he wasn't living in tbe nightmare that killed him.
It was all rather sad, weirdly poignant and felt like I'd lost a brother I never knew I had.
Or you can drift the train and kill all six.
The more I attempt to examine aspects of my reality in order to understand it better the stranger things become. Trying to understand things such as whether space is infinite or finite and mentally running time backwards in an attempt to find it's starting point leaves always me with two opposing ideas, one of which must be true but both of them are impossible leads me to think that at a fundamental level reality is neither reasonable or logical. It seems that paradox lay at the center of everything.
The sponsor ends at 5:42
yes this had a very satisfying conclusion. human thought is not representative of reality. Experimenting with thoughts is nothing more than casting more interesting shadows on the wall.
Can you do a video on if the One piece was real?
if the many-worlds theory was in fact true, would that not directly contradict the free will theory? hypothetically if my cat ran away and i think hes either dead or perfectly fine on my neighbors porch, which world did i become entangled with? if i became entangled with a world where my cat is fine on my neighbors porch, then doesnt that predetermine that this is the world where he’s dead, and vice versa?
Personally, I would stand back and let what will happen, happen. To believe I am endowed with the power to decide the fate of others in some situations is rather foolhardy, I do not call the shorts, there is only so much a person can do. This kind of dilemma will bring countless other variables to the table, some of which may lead to events far worse than the death of a few.
"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice" -- Rush (the band, not the talk-show guy).
5:52 the kiritsugu dilemma
Schrödinger cat: it’s NaN
0:15 I don't need to prove it didn't happen. You need to prove it happened. And my position wouldn't be "Impossible, it didn't happen" because then I would have the burden of proof. Instead, my position would be "I don't accept your claim to be true until proven".
But that's the thing. People have to always create a scenario where it's one or the other.
With no other options so we have to pick the lesser of the two evils.
Just to prove how messed up people would really be in making their decision.
The fact is, life doesn't work like that.
There is another 3rd option.
You say a train lost it's breaks, fine speed up the train and the rail that turns pick that and derail the train.
Anyway you look at it someone is going to die.
If you had the power to save lives at the cost of yours? Would you?
Think of it this way.
5 people on the train tracks
And 1 person on the other.
Let's say you decided to kill that one person.
Later you found out theo's 5 people.
Are Murderers and rapist.
And that one person you decided to kill
Was a good person who help people, just gotten married and left behind 2 kids.
Congratulations you just killed a good person.
But if I had to choose I'd pick the 5 people even knowing nothing about them. With how messed up this world is I'm at least going to take out one bad person. Like the saying goes there is always one person.
I know you're probably would say "but what if that one person is a bad person and not the other 5"
1st I'd say, trust me at the minimum there is always a bad person.
So the 5 I take out one bad person and the other lives basically I broke even.
But if had more then one bad person.
That means I made the world a better place.
Because life is never black or white, good or evils, or light or darkness.
Even things that Appears to be good could be very evil. (Christians)
What would you think if you found out a boy killed his father and not by accident. He picked up a gun and blew his head off?
"He is awful, evil and people like him shouldn't exist in this world."
But what if later you found out he did that to protect his little sister because his father was touching her?
I bet you tune changed huh? Lol
Just because something looks bad doesn't always mean it is bad.
Some might be obvious, but some might not.
When I hear kid kills of family member.
My first thought is "wonder what the family did to push them to that point?"
While still keeping an open mind of them, just might be complete psycho's.
Let's face the facts theo.
Most kids aren't born evil they are made like that from their parents.
Because people who shouldn't have kids, Is having kids.
As far as a clone of me? With the same experience and memories as I do?
1st I'd feel really bad for all the shit they went threw without their consent.
2nd I'd be really happy because I finally found a person that can understand me. And I would have given them mad respect if they also ended up a good person. That's show endless Defiance 👍🖕🤣 and I like that.
My soul at the start:
"Shoot how did they find out?"
What is the legal answer to the trolly problem? Would you be held liable for killing the one? But not liable for killing 5, bc you did not flip the switch?
I have answers to all of these. If I died and got replaced by a clone, it makes no difference to me - I'm still here. The spooky action at a distance is an illusion caused by our lack of understanding of the quantum world - I'm sure the spin sorts itself out before we measure it. And if it was my child on the tracks, I wouldn't hesitate to chose them over five strangers. That's just human nature, wanting to take care of our own. I'd feel really, really bad about it later, but I chose not to kill my kid with a train. So there.
IMHO the loss of ether in our understanding and thought process, devastated our ability to consider what is really happening around us. Most everyday, normal people think ether is something that only exists in the Marvel Universe.
A barber shaves everyone in a village who does not shave themself, and does not shave any that shave themself. So either the barber lives in a different village and shaves themself or lives in the same village but goes to another barber to get shaved. alternatively, barbers tend to work in small groups, hence if that barber gets shaved by another barber from the same barber shop, one could say that he gets shaved by someone else within the same barber and he shaves that barbers hair as well. Which is why he has all whom do not shave themselves coming to the barber, since they have much practice from each others hair.
Your first example about the clone of me... Opening with, "What if I told you..." And speaking in the second person throughout. Well if I had been replaced, you would be speaking to, even asking the final question not of, "me."
You would be asking the clone. Not only would the clone respond saying, "that isn't possible." He would be correct.
Didn't they take Master Chief from his family and replaced him with a clone in Halo?
The train will slow down for the turn slow ENOUGH to run in front and free the son.
For the first thought experiment: no body, no crime. If i couldnt find my old body id have no reason to think their is one.
If one of my family was the and a million strangers id save my family member every time
if there was my son i would call him on his mobile and let the train go on my son track .
The correct answer to the train experiment is to do nothing because the situation really doesn't have anything to do with you to begin, you didn't tie those people up or start the train. If you do something you're the one that's kind of killing the people and you will know whatever you did you could have did it the other way so the other people didn't die. if you do nothing then nothing is really your fault.
Watched the first 30, seconds, murmured 'oh shut up' to the video, and will now close it
Well, no kids and never want any, so it's not that insurmountable to answer that. It would be choosing between a bunch of strangers, regardless where there is no "right" nor "wrong", just a choice.
The Indian philosophy Advaita Vedanta holds answers to the closing thoughts on allegory of the cave. The universe Is a reflection of a transcendental reality.
there was an unsettling vibe throughout this whole video.
Thank you now I can't sleep at night more
These experiments of "sacrificing one person or a group of them" makes me think that people are too closed minded.
Because they see only two options when we all know there is a third one.
Sacrifice yourself to stop the train rather than sacrificing others.
Sure, not an easy decision, but it's just as a valid.Yet people get stuck in this dilemma and forget that they themselves are also an option.
I'm curious though, how do you sacrifice yourself in that scenario? If you jumped on the track in front of the train it wouldn't stop it from hitting the people further down the track
@@ekf5018 Yes it would, the same way it would if you let it hit one person.
I promise you, your body will NOT stop a train. I've seen a train drag a crushed pickup truck several hundred yards. The only reason it stopped there was that it had its brakes on the whole time.
@@stevenscott2136 Well then, the whole experiment of "chosing who to pick" is moot and there is no reason to pick either.
Let it up to luck since it won't make a difference in the end.
What if our lives are a thought experiment ?
Interesting thought.
@@ApertureThinking thanks man !!
My son > everyone except my family.. it’s not even hard to pick
If they cloned me exactly as I am, then I would tell them that duplicating my MS is a waste of science and we should bring back the pitchfork and witch burning days.
No, i have something special in swimming, where i can just gather all my emotions in to anger and get faster wich my coach has seen it’s mental that’s why its not replaceable, a way of thinking is not fully replaceable
Its 2022, why would you restrict from thinking out of the box. If I was the barber I would shave myself but only HALF, that's so easy to think and fulfils both the rules.
Shroedingers cat is decided if it is dead or not before the univere was created, my opinion
It seems like people have way too much time on their hands if they come up with nonsense like this. It seems like they just come up with scenarios without really wanting an answer, then laugh at people trying to look intelligent whilst they ponder on it. It's the biggest scam going and it's funny.
“What if the world exploded” I just killed billions
In the trolley problem I would save my child instead of five people 😊
Don’t I break quantum entanglement t if I make the decision whether the cat is alive or not irreverent by just getting rid of the box not finding out, one way or another and making the next decision I feel is best myself. Basically taken any value the cat had is removed and replaced without thinking twice or even worried about it and tangling myself, or asking another human what to do and then tangling them, and basically setting in motion a series of events that are infinitely going to happen, no matter what, without phone regardless, if one thing affects another in someway or another and I’m making these decisions by flipping a coin.
Clones wouldn't have the same finger prints, do nothing at the train tracks cause I could never be a murder.
Eren on Trolley Problem: *tatakae*
Why is the Schrodinger cat said to be both alive and dead and not either alive or dead?
That "what would you do" question in the thumbnail. The answer is either way you change the path of the train, no one would get hurt because they're not even stepping on the way of the rail tracks. They're outside the line.
If you say "this sentence is false" your clone would die
But if you're human you'll be confused out of your mind
Hey Aperture, I got one for ya!
Are there more wheels or doors in the world?
