From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 20 Advancement Mission
[Hey, what is this teacher Lin Mo called? Has it been updated again?Let me take a look...]

[Prospect theory?Certainty effect? 】

In the video, Lin Mo was seen standing in front of the blackboard, writing a series of formulas on the blackboard while talking.

"When people face gains, Wang Wang is cautious and unwilling to take any risks. But when facing losses, everyone becomes an adventurer."

"Let's look at two interesting experiments: A is 100% getting 100 million yuan, B is 50% getting 200 million yuan, and 50% is getting nothing. Which one will you choose?"

Lin Mo paused for a moment and looked at the screen.

[Two birds in the hand are worse than one bird in the bush. I choose A. 】

As if he saw that the barrage was basically one-sided, Lin Mo smiled confidently.

"I believe most people will choose A."

"Then let's look at another experiment: C is a 100% loss of 100 million yuan, D is a 50% loss of 200 million yuan, and a 50% possibility of losing nothing. What would you choose?"

Lin Mo looked at the screen with a smile, waited for a moment, and then spoke.

"Have you silently chosen D in your heart?"

[Damn it, he really got it right, no, I don’t, I have to choose C. 】

“Given a choice between a sure loss and a gamble, most people will take the gamble.”

"Actually, we can find out that these two realizations are actually the same, except that one is gained and the other is lost, but everyone's choices are completely opposite. This is the 'Alai Paradox' we mentioned yesterday..."

[I just said this experiment, why does it sound so familiar? It turns out it is still talking about Allais' Paradox! 】

[This is Allais’ Paradox, but why is this? 】

"It's the same 100 million yuan. The happiness of picking up 100 million yuan for nothing is not the same as the pain of losing 100 million yuan. This has to make people sigh: human beings' joys and sorrows are not connected."

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. Although everyone knows this, if you were really faced with such a choice, would you really make a rational choice?"

"In the real world, there is no such high probability as 50%, and it is often even less than 1%, but there are still many people who follow suit."

"I believe many people have bought stocks. So when you are stuck, do you bear the pain and cut the flesh, or do you think that you may get lucky and be able to get out of the trap tomorrow?"

Lin Mo looked at the camera and talked, while on the opposite side of the video, the audience was unknowingly attracted to Lin Mo.

"Okay, that's it for today's video. Next time we'll talk about breaking up with someone you can't love, skipping questions if you don't know how to do them, and cutting off stocks that can't make money. See you next time!"

Lin Mo dropped the Easter eggs for the next issue, and decisively ended the video.

【That's it?Gone?The author is too short! 】

[That’s right, update soon!I just took off my pants, and you tell me I’m done with them? 】

[Update quickly, otherwise, your coins will be gone! 】

Lin Mo didn't know the resentment behind the screen. Of course, even if he knew, he would only smile slightly. After all, if everyone's appetite is not hooked, where does the traffic and popularity come from?
Lin Mo was running around in the basement and library as always.

Several days passed, and Lin Mo was still studying hard in the library.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing today's mission. The mission reward is: 100 science points." Lin Mo stretched out and without hesitation, added the points he just obtained to the mathematics.

Mathematics: Entry Level (1000/1000)

Ok?
Lin Mo looked at it suspiciously. He had 79 science points remaining and wanted to add it to mathematics, but no matter how he communicated with the system, there was no change.

How is this going?

"Ding, the host's mathematics subject value is full. If you want to be promoted to the next level, you need to complete the subject promotion task."

"Subject promotion task: The host summarizes the existing mathematics subject knowledge system, masters it, obtains its own understanding and perception, and writes it into a paper. Task reward: Mathematics is promoted to the proficient level."

Lin Mo opened his mouth.

Well, as expected, it is not that easy. Lin Mo used just a few days to increase the math subject value to 1000 points by relying on scientific points, which is equivalent to the entry-level level of a Ph.D.

In other words, Lin Mo easily acquired a large amount of knowledge in just a few days, reaching a level of knowledge that would take others years to achieve.

Therefore, if there is no bottleneck, Lin Mo only needs to keep going like this and use scientific points to add points. I am afraid that in a few years, Lin Mo will be able to reach the level of Newton and Gauss.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Mo felt that this promotion task was reasonable.

People who graduate with a master's degree still need to write a graduation thesis. I am already starting a Ph.D., so it makes sense to write a thesis to summarize.

Moreover, this task does not seem to be too difficult. He only needs to summarize, form his own thing, and write a paper. There is no requirement to publish a paper, which makes the task much less difficult.

However, Lin Mo had a hunch that as the subject level increases, the difficulty of subject promotion tasks in the future will probably become more and more difficult.

Lin Mo figured this out and understood that he really needed to stop and sort it out. The knowledge he had accumulated before, which was almost cramming, now needs to be understood and digested, so he might as well stop and sort it out.

But it was already late now. After reading a book all day, he needed to change his mind. Lin Mo put down the book and started today's video recording.

Writing a recording script, finding a classroom to record, editing, uploading, all in one go. After a set of procedures, Lin Mo has become more and more proficient. Of course, this is also his old profession before rebirth, so naturally he can't get more familiar with it.

After recording today, it was still early, so Lin Mo had time to pay attention to the data of his video.

Lin Mo initially chose to release the video on the four major platforms, and Lin Mo watched them one by one.

On the scarf, the video on the first day was very popular, and the number of views once reached one million. However, the popularity of the video continued to decline. Although many people reposted it, the number of views was only tens of thousands, and it never reached the number of the first day. degree.

On Shuishou, views and reposts were not high at first, but with Lin Mo’s updates, the number of views gradually increased, reaching hundreds of thousands of viewers.

Tengshi is similar to Bibo, and its viewing popularity shows a clear downward trend.

Station D, on the other hand, gave Lin Mo a surprise. Lin Mo's video at Station D was filled with barrage, almost covering up Lin Mo's sultry face. Looking at the number of views, oh, more than 200 million.

Each video can reach this playback volume, instead of going high and low like on Bibo and Tengshi.

Judging from the traffic, Bibo and Tengshi can basically be given up, but Doushou and D Station seem to be able to dig deeper.

Should I focus the video on station D?Do some videos that are more suitable for the water friends at station D?

With this idea in mind, Lin Mo started thinking.
