Isn't this a question of hubris? The title claims that "Rational People Do Worse", but wouldn't a rational person surmise that there is some information/mechanism they don't have access to that the computer does in order to achieve the success rate claimed? In that case the rational choice would be to claim the single box.

The other factor not addressed is the $1k vs $1m. The calculus changes a lot based on these amounts. If it was 10 bucks vs the chance to win millions? that's the lottery. if it were $10k it be a lot harder to walk away from that.

As a thought experiment, its a lot easier to say what you think the answer should be, actually making that choice when there is real money is psychologically different.

The fact that he tried to shoehorn in supply and demand just shows how this person is an actual conservative.

It really makes no sense especially in this era where we have fake descent on both sides generated by AI.

While I probably disagree with most of his politics, I appreciate the fact that he stands up and says Trump is a fucking crook.

the whole idea of a coffee 'break' was created to pump stimulants into workers to improve productivity.

Milk based plastic was one of the first man made plastics produced back in 1890. Not 1980, 1890.

Its important to note, that while the ISBN matches Brute Orbits by George Zebrowski the description doesnt. A truly deep mystery, its almost like someone created a fake image and posted it on the interweb for laughs.
