>>18137150>they can use the resources at their disposal to figure it out for themselves, or at least enough of them to make the right decisions in the endI don't think this stream is what you're looking for with your experiment then. If I understand you correctly, what you're looking for is if many people can use general, available knowledge to solve different problems. All this stream is showing is that if you show many people the answer to a problem, then when you ask them to solve that problem, they'll give you that same answer. The steps to solving each maze has been laid out in very simple terms, I think what you would be looking for is for people to learn general instructions on how to solve A maze, and then ask them to collectively solve a specific maze, which isn't what's happening in this stream. The experiment that the stream is undergoing is if you give a group of people the answer to a problem, will they be able to get their shit together and regurgitate that answer back to you in all the chaos?
As for your second point, perhaps I was unclear. Even though it is not an achievement of skill, conquering the various obstacles in the Twitch stream gives a great sense of achievement through skill, is a pretty impressive achievement of weighted luck, and is hilarious as fuck. Of course, in all technically, we didn't earn it, but it gives the illusion of earning it and that's what counts.
>I didn't believe we would get through with our uncoordinated stumblingI felt like that too, but I always figure it's always darkest before the dawn, to use a cheesy saying. It's that feeling of despair which comes from the repeated failures that makes the victory so much more satisfying. And when you switch to Democracy, all that struggle vanishes and suddenly success isn't as sweet. It's the cautious person's route, less risk over less reward. For some people that's fine, but you could get that from playing Red normally.
And whirlwind was the highlight of my day.
