Part 1 of 5 - How to Make Better Decisions - BBC Horizon

[Aprinsa]

lmao... this video is kind of pointless, but fun to watch anyway.

[MISTERASMODEUS]

Schlock. This is nonsense. Way too many variables to solve the equations. Ease the grip on your need to control and maybe you will have a chance. It's where life, beauty and art go that science cannot follow. And vice versa.

[bioagradable]

@MISTERASMODEUS @Aprinsa Yeah, is really intresting is that all they needed was to actually try, and all whom tried actually succeded at getting girs numbers. That seems like a great "philosophy" to have about life.

bozeman mt!!!

[onthinice766]

i think i watched this program before. i think it was stupid

[SebastiaanHalff]

7:01, Maybe it's just me not having watched the whole thing yet, but isn't succes in a relationship depended on 2 sides rather than what 1 thinks he his?

[brightingsky2009]

It is all about the money, If you have that the women will come! I'am not saying that all the ladys are golddiggers but most of them looks to ther futur intrest. But what have they done for me lateley? Nothing at all, so I rather be alone! If I have to take care for somthing, I rather have a dog. Dogs do not stick knifes at you back!

[n3xicon]

@brightingsky2009 You speak like an inbred, backwoods simpleton. Refer to the Oxford dictionary.

[brightingsky2009]

@n3xicon English is not my native tongue, but I do speak, read and write five different languages. So if some one are a backwoods simpleton it might be you. You ignorant fucking wasp bastard!

[n3xicon]

@brightingsky2009 Yes, some illiterate negroid posing as a linguistic savant. That is classic. Perhaps your math is off because 5 ≠ 0.5. Thanks for further grammatically butchering my language. Return to your mud hut.

[goldpenis]

@n3xicon! pfffft! .what.a.douche.bag! aahahahaha!! Hohoho!! Ahaha snicker snicker*

[kaferere]

Should I watch part 2 or not?

[BCete]

my life sucks because i always pick wrong :(

[eflwinnie]

@BCete So do I. :(

[Cammie010]

"Do I stand a chance with her" Equation... lol wow really? :D

[JoeysProject]

No girlfriend?? wait.. did you do your math correctly? .. let me check your equations. =)

[yashimato]

the camera is killing me... it's so uncomfortable imagining the cameraman taking these shots

[fl260]

Oh, ok... So what they do, basically, is that they randomly, arbitrarily set the values, and then they call that science?

Maybe that's why the narrator is saying "they're having Faith in maths". By the way, do Faith really have something to do with science? I thought it was quite the opposite position...

[HappyBirthdaySANTA]

stuff having a girl friend just get your fuck on with randoms. buy a puppy if you want a companion

[jposh707]

Of course there's some douche bag American at the center all of this...and I AM an American and I'm saying this! I'm sorry England!! :-(

[baboonlwka]

juliet lewis @7:50?wtf

[benjo123451]

2:04  great acting

[Antisyncretism]

so basically they subjectively impose numbers to represent their looks and social ability and then make assumptions about how those numbers come into play.......I have a problem with that...

[Heyoupally]

This is the sort of television that people usually misinterpret and become extremists for.

[TheOneRebornElyrize]

heehee this is not too accurate... sure i think he can make out decision bleh shit whatever.. but only on guys and typical(typical!) chicks... i do play a lot of videogames thats like a lifestyle for me.. but i dont have any problems with guys and sure... those guys were .... kinda unattractive xD but as you say.. there are no ugly people.. only lazY! if i need to look good i do what it takes... nuthing more with that.... most people are pretty predictable but he forgot those other 10%...

[dothedeed]

...I can look into  the future ..future...future!!!!??

[RiChYeMpAkAdOr]

i agree that the guys who spend a lot of time in videogames have no chance with chicks

[TheOneRebornElyrize]

@RiChYeMpAkAdOr why? :P

[RiChYeMpAkAdOr]

@TheOneRebornElyrize lol you are one of them xD because you spend your time in videogames instead dating girls, most girls dont like videogames

[TheOneRebornElyrize]

@RiChYeMpAkAdOr why would i date girls? im into guys... and what do you eman most girls dont like videogames? i LOVE them?.. youre just seeing the world in black and white :) some girls like myself.. do actually enjoy what other girls dont :P

[jposh707]

@RiChYeMpAkAdOr It's true. Most girls don't like video games. You're right.

[asammieawa]

i got to 4.19 and thought, "i dont want to watch this programme anymore"

[velocityj]

2:05 Sarah Palin



[Isanion]

i hate this type of none-science:

woohoo i've got an equation that takes made up data to produce a meaningless result. yaaay

How good at conversation are you?

2/10

how confident are you?

1/10

anyone think that the first result is being skewed by the second? You know it is! And what do the results tell us? That you're more likely to score with someone less attractive than you, especially if your witty and funny. But I can't say just how much more likely cos the input was guessed at.

*facepalm*

[sdflksdfkfh]

Watched the whole thing. Thought it was pretty lame.

[cybersphere]

I found this documentary to be very interesting, esp. the guy who runs mathematical proofs designed to help you make decisions with mathematical precision. The problem is that the answer is only as good as the formula and the formula itself involves a lot of decision making.

[cprostudio]

the guy how says hes an 8 is actually more a 3

[cprostudio]

lets switch off intuition, creativity and spontaneity. Lets decide everything from a set of rules. Lets be calculators.

[cprostudio]

if yu know everything, why exist at all. Why not be a computer?

[BigWorm242]

3:09 Ponytail guy is a goon! No wonder he can't get a girlfriend.

[Konarcoffee]

Garth is going to die alone

[Cammie010]

@Konarcoffee forever alone.. :(

[kawaiinekochick2]

Lol are you legit.

[mexicanboy92840]

Should I smoke the mothafucker with the 3.57 or the snuff?

[DecisionHelp]

For help with tough decisions try "The Pocket Oracle"

[Xytos]

this is a fucking joke

[AppleSouffle]

Xytos, yes, I'm sure that's the same thing your parents say about you, and quite often.

[Xytos]

@AppleSouffle lick my balls and get a life troll

[CooCurrent]

@novatrek Sorry you didn't like it, but honestly, I think you're over-reacting. I can maybe understand you being annoyed because it states 'You/we are bad at making decisions' or something, or what is it that really 'grinds your gears' xD

Regards.

[ThePhilosorpheus]

@CooCurrent Really?... Having to choose wedding dresses and girlfriends have nothing to do with free will at all...that´s a very superficial perspective of something which has too much implications, it´s like saying your life has no value because you can´t choose your shoes. Plus it treats the audience like fucking idiots. This is the worst documentary I´ve ever seen.

[AppleSouffle]

Novatrek, I feel the same way about your social skills. Everything you ever posted should be deleted.

Some people just don't have what it takes to be part of polite, adult society.

[MikeRoePhonicsMusic]

@novatrek Super cool review, bro.

[leshark]

hahahaha that guy at the end is kickin himself now.

[ross259]

another way to get a girl is to impress her with how fast you can run.

[Blitz4000]

one way to get a girl is to act dumb and smart at the same time.
