-In the video it clearly states that claws and nails are not superior/better to one another. They are extremely similar, and are better than one another depending on the action. Also there's giant gaps between the supposed evolution of monkeys/gorillas/etc and modern humans. Also 99% of all organisms that have ever existed are now extinct - meaning "evolution" could not save them despite evolution having millions of years to save them. Also Humans are the only thing on the planet capable of advanced language (Japanese/English/etc.) and advanced structures (Starbucks/Electrical Grid/etc.). If evolution is true and not a theory, why do only humans have an a evolutionary branch towards these abilities? Humans are not the only intelligent organism on the planet, and Humans are far from the only apex predator. Why would evolution exclude tigers, bears, wolves, dogs, crocodiles, from evolution that could save them from extinction? Why only humans, after millions of years? Because evolution is a theory and it will only ever be a theory. :>
Every time a new thing comes along, they always do this. "Is it making us dumb?" Life is self-evident. Determinism plays a much larger role in life than most want to admit. It's fun to believe you can "free will" your way out of anything. That being said, everyone is dumb about something. They always talk about how intelligent Einstein was. But notice it's very specific subjects. For all we know, he was not good at most things. If I spend 50 years perfecting the art of solving the rubix cube as fast as possible, some number of people will be amazed. But most people might say I wasted 50 precious years I can't get back. And that's not very "intelligent".
By adding another condition, your brain automatically switches over to the second part (creating the narrative about the woman good at math who plays poker). Your brain almost entirely forgets about the original condition. I guess part of it is "our brains taking a short cut" as the video suggests, but I think it's more than that. When asking people to do a thought experiment, and nothing is really on the line, there's no reason to use the extra mental bandwidth to get the answer right. I think it's possible that, if you paid people to answer that question for example, you may get some number of people answering differently. If you show me a magic trick, my first reaction is always to be amazed. I almost never want to know *how* you did the trick. And me not wanting to know the answer to the trick doesn't really tell you how logical I am.
