The Bayesian Conspiracy
How to Avoid a New Come Problem Box
Omega: I think carnival fairs is the most likely place you would encounter these sorts of things because they're famous for trying to scam people out of their money. Probably don't go to carnivals or if you doDon't go to the tents where they take your money. Don't go to casinos ever because this is literally what casinos are. Yeah the casinos you've got to put in the factor of like you're also paying to have fun and if you have fun gambling then yeah I was about to say exactly some people hate that shit and I totally get it.

Speaker 2
My last comment on
Speaker 1
this post was just to myself saying get triggered rationalist I'm a complete fucking idiot. Awesome presumably
Speaker 2
that getting insulted thing is there specifically so humans can short circuit these sorts of terrible loops that they could otherwise be exploited by and you know maybe just don't get exploited by it in the first place is the idea.
Speaker 1
Are these kinds of loops the kinds that I'm likely to encounter in the same carnival fair where Omega shows me a new come problem box.
Speaker 2
Honestly I think carnival fairs is the most likely place you would encounter these sorts of things because they're famous for trying to scam people out of their money.
Speaker 1
I guess I'm thinking is like is this the kind of thing I'm ever likely to encounter in real life the same way I'm likely to encounter a new come problem and I know that thoughtful smart listeners wrote in with examples of real life new come problems but they didn't register for me with that caveat I mean
Speaker 2
is this the thing that that can happen in real life. Probably don't go to carnivals or if you do don't go to the tents where they take your money.
Speaker 1
I'll go to the one where they have a box of twenty four thousand dollars in it for me to take you
Speaker 2
know right. Obviously don't go to casinos ever because this is literally what casinos are.
Speaker 1
Yeah the casinos you've got to put in the factor of like you're also paying to have fun and if you have fun gambling then yeah
Speaker 2
I was about to say exactly
Speaker 1
some people hate that shit and I totally get
Speaker 2
it. Anyways onward to the next post yes. Yeah apparently wasn't the only idiot who
Speaker 1
read the first one because the post opens with huh I was not expecting that response.
Speaker 2
A lot of people did not like did not agree with his reasoning in the first one apparently yeah.
