The monty hall problem as i interpret is as follows : the probability of you choosing a donkey in the first attempt is 2/3 . If you initially choose a donkey only then switching would get you the car . That means you should switch.

I'm 46 and my education is rather at a medioker level. Nevertheless i've always been curious about all kinds of things.
Including language in general. This really helps me a lot. Criminally underrated in my opinion. Thank you Mr. Teacher!

If Monty hall was drunk and opened 98 doors and all of them happened to be donkeys, you’re saying that it’s still a 50/50 to switch or not? (Again Monty hall is drunk and doesn’t know where the car is)

What makes a thing a thing is its essence, its spirit, its essential attributes or qualities without which it would no longer be that thing. For Theseus' ship it is the spirit of the man, his deeds, his words, the principles by which he lived his life. For the US Constitution it is the spirit or ethos of democracy, republicanism, rugged individualism and so on and so forth. For a person ir is his or her soul. The more vexing conundrum is the question of Descartes wax. Interesting video dude.
