Deep Dive
What is the 'Extreme Two Choices' game discussed in the podcast?
The 'Extreme Two Choices' game involves selecting one option from two difficult choices, often revealing personal preferences or dilemmas. Participants can choose to 'suicide' if they find both options unbearable.
Why did the participants prefer receiving a silent work-related screenshot from their boss over sending a message in the company group chat with no replies?
Participants preferred the silent screenshot because it allowed them to avoid the public embarrassment of an ignored message. The silent screenshot, while anxiety-inducing, was seen as less awkward than the public silence in a group chat.
What were the reasons for choosing Xu Yiyang over Guo Biting in the 'Extreme Two Choices' game?
Participants chose Xu Yiyang because she is newly married and appears to have a loving relationship with her husband, Huang Zitao. In contrast, Guo Biting is seen as having a more complicated family dynamic, including in-laws and children, making her situation seem more challenging.
Why did the participants prefer being a 'painful wise person' over a 'happy fool'?
Participants valued the depth and meaning that comes with being a 'painful wise person,' believing that pain has intrinsic value and leads to personal growth. They saw being a 'happy fool' as superficial and less fulfilling.
What was the participants' reaction to the idea of being in a room with 200 cockroaches versus being with Chen Sicheng?
Participants overwhelmingly chose being with Chen Sicheng over 200 cockroaches, as they found the idea of interacting with a person, even if disliked, more manageable than dealing with a swarm of cockroaches.
Why did the participants prefer a world without Qiong Yao over a world without Jin Yong?
Participants felt that Qiong Yao's works had a more significant personal and cultural impact, especially in shaping romantic narratives. Jin Yong's absence was seen as less impactful, as his works are more about martial arts and less about personal relationships.
What was the participants' preference between being misunderstood in their pain versus having 6 billion people understand their pain?
Participants preferred having at least one person understand their pain over being misunderstood by everyone. They valued deep, meaningful connections over widespread but potentially superficial understanding.
What was the participants' choice between working as a crew member on a Chen Sicheng-directed LGBT film or attending a dinner hosted by Huang Lei?
Participants chose working on Chen Sicheng's film because it offered a new and potentially insightful experience, whereas Huang Lei's dinner was seen as predictable and less exciting.
