I agree with you, but in context.

Meaning, ask me for my superpower and what I’d do with it, sure!

But this channel makes really good science-focused content. So to present this video, which essentially requires an all knowing god-like entity, then try and break down the game theory and probabilities, just seems odd and out of their lane a bit.

The money is the the less interesting bit, the belief in God and outcome is the more interesting one.

If you believe the god bit and play the game:

Take box A&B, get $1.001M: you fooled god, there is free will. Or you are the lucky 1% god can’t predict.

Take box A&B, get $1000: you did not fool god, there is no free will.

Take box B, get $1M: you did not fool god, there is no free will.

Take box B, get $0: you fooled god, there is free will. Or you are the lucky 1% god can’t predict.

If you don’t believe the god bit, then this is just some sort of con man swindle and you are only getting a max $1000 anyway.

So I sorta view this whole thing as religious philosophy, which is why it feels weird on a science channel.
