When I passed the entering engineering maths and physics exams, I went to the website to check which engineering program I’d be starting (Electrical). But I accidentally clicked on two programs because I had an ad blocker antiglowies that sometimes messed with websites, so instead of selecting one, I ended up picking both Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.

I didn’t realize this until my first day at university, when the coordinator (or whatever this bald nigger is called) saw my name on both lists. He asked if it was a mistake. Because of the 'tism, I didn’t know how to say no, and he got really excited, so I just went along with it.

In the end, they put me in both morning and night classes.

What am I in for?

Obviously but you don't need to go that far, an autoclave on ~130°C would be enough (or better yet, 150°C if it can handle the pressure.)

Monty Hall doesn't make any sense and we've all been coerced to go along with it

No!
You're exchanging one chance for another, it's 50/50 regardless. The system is broken and everyone's too afraid to point it out because the consequences are dire

You have two gates to run through before the problem is resolved:
>first gate with three doors
>second gate with same layout but one option is closed off
You only have to be correct on which door you pick on the final gate to win the game.
However, the second gate is set up depending on your choice for the first gate:
>If you picked the winning door Monty is free to eliminate either of the losing doors at random
>If you picked a losing door Monty is forced to eliminate the other losing door
If we fully acknowledge that your 2/3 advantage lies in switching, this means 2/3 of the time you have forced the conditions of the second half of the game by dictating how the second gate is set up. 2/3 of the time you will have removed an element of random chance (Monty’s choice) that doesn’t directly change the odds of you winning, but changes the terms of how the game plays out.
Consider these three doors:
>car1
>goat2
>goat3
Scenario 1: You pick car1 at a random chance of 1/3. Monty will randomly remove goat2 or goat3 at a random chance of 1/2 each. Your paths to lose are 1/3 x 1/2 or 1/6 each, your single path to win is 1/3 x 1/2 or 1/6 total, leaving 3/6 or 1/2 of the possible paths (goat2 > anywhere or goat3 > anywhere) that could have developed inaccessible to you because you gave Monty’s random choice a say in the matter.
Scenario 2: You pick either goat2 or goat3 at a random chance of 2/3. Monty is forced to remove the other goat. Your paths to win are 1/3 x 1/2 or 1/6 each and all paths are open to you EXCEPT car1 > car1 simply because you didn’t pick car1 first 2/3 of the time.
>okay so what the fuck does this mean
Forcing Monty’s hand, which will happen 2/3 of the time, will close off less of the paths to you but the ratio of losing paths to total available paths is larger - 2:5
Allowing Monty’s choice which will happen 1/3 of the time will close off more paths available but the ratio of winning paths to total available is larger - 2:3
>>
>>16946110
>cont
Conclusion: Any perceived advantage from always switching is offset by either narrowing the total field of possible paths or increasing the ratio of possible losing paths to total paths available.

>>
>>16946361
2 class A's out of 135 launches for the platform (plus 1 ATO that didn't affect the mission). Columbia was a result of long-term operating fatigue to which the shuttle design was vulnerable, but Challenger was lost due to colossal mismanagement at NASA and Morton Thiokol.

The day will come a day when SpaceX has RUD on a crewed vehicle, and they will have to answer to shareholders. It will not be pretty.

What is the most likely way we could achieve immortality (if it were possible at all)? Transferring our consciousness to a machine, cloning of a new body, or what?
I personally think there's a hard limit on the biology of the age of the brain that will render any form of biological immortality impossible.

Just creates someone else.
The only kind of immortality that will work is regularly growing new organs in labs to replace old ones, as well as germ line and other gene treatments to prevent genetic degradation and a hundred other medical treatments besides. It'll be complicated with the brain especially; might have to remove pieces, replace them with more, wait a bit, remove another piece, and so on.

Probably gradually replacing parts of the brain with machinery that allows for the continuation of consciousness, then replace all the organic parts with technology and replace the technology whenever it starts to wear down.

I occasionally think of a planet that was purely mono-"Genotype?", a singular species evolving from primitive to advanced enough to "visit".

The implications being they eat and/or fuck themselves...probably at all ages too. Horrifically savage. Like stories from the Congo, two guides grabbed a 9 year old girl and chopped her up for seemingly no reason (Voodoo?)...shocked the explorer, it was completely common there.

homo sapien sapiens is not an universal homogenous group, modern humans descend from mixture of multiple ancient human species - sapien neanderthalensis, erectus etc, the homo sapien sapiens is simply the latest human species we all have blood of.
Europeans largely descend from homo sapien neanderthaensis and homogenous sapien sapiens, for Asians its mostly homo erectus and homogenous sapien sapiens, for Africans it is mostly homogenous sapien sapiens and some other mystery species rhat no other humans descend from, they call it the ghost DNA, look it up.
