To be honest, I’ve kept thinking of this branching stuff for the past few days lol.
- Comment on 2³² will get interesting... 2 weeks ago:
Got it! So you’re saying that the last choice is between 2^33^ or 0 and the last guy has a probably x of pulling the lever and killing everyone (therefore a (1-x) probability of killing nobody).
So, even if it’s guaranteed that nobody along the way pulls the lever (the best case scenario if we want 0 dead), the expected value at the last branch is x · 2^33^ + (1-x) · 0. And the only way this is less than 1 is if x < 1 / 2^33^, which is an absurdly tiny probability.
If we also consider the intermediary probabilities, this already tiny probability threshold of 1 / 2^33^ of killing nobody gets SMALLER because we’re allowing more chances for killing way more than 1 person along the way.

That’s what the meme is. But the user’s calculation multiplies 1-x by 0, not 1-x by half the population.
- Comment on 2³² will get interesting... 2 weeks ago:
I am not seeing it. Are you saying the last person chooses between killing nobody and killing the entire population? Also, what about the intermediary likelihoods of pulling the lever?

I’ve lived in places where bars close at 1:30am and others where they don’t close and you end up going home at 6am or so.
I love being home by 2am lol

They’re pretty bad but you can get lucky. I had a long-ish relationship come out of them. I’ve had a ton of long term flirts that came out of them. It’s fun and nice to flirt with people slowly and every once in a while for like 5+ years lol
