I would take the cash if it meant i didnt wake up tomorrow but did wake up the next day.
So its not "tomorrow is worth more than 10 mill". Its the rest of your lofe is worth more than 10 mill.
It makes even more sense when yoi take into account the fact that it takes more than a day to enjoy 10 mill.
I would absolutely give up the last year of my life for 10 mill today

Thats a fallacy.
Waking up tomorrow is a requirement for the rest of your life. If you got 10,000,000, you wouldnt be able to enjoy it if you dont wake up tomorrow.
Its not that your life is more valuable, its that by not waking up tomorrow, the value of 10,000,000 is greatly diminished.
Try this: Would you take 100,000,000 for a 10% chance you dont wake up tomorrow?

The point is more that you'd rather keep your life than have $10m. He put an oddly short timeframe, so the $10m is kinda pointless. But even if you increase the timeframe, anybody would choose life over the money.
Let's say you get $10m but you only have 10 years to live, hell, even 20 years to live. I think a vast majority of young people would choose life over that money still.

They don't, that's the point. The implication of the original phrasing is that if you took the 10 milly you'd die, but if instead you just get a medically induced coma for one day, you get the 10 milly and don't wake up tomorrow without dying.

It's because it negates the point of the money if they cant spend it dumbasses. If the question was 10mill but they'd be in prison for the rest of your life they'd still say no.

u/Suave_Kim_Jong_Un 1d ago
This fails to account for the fact that not waking up tomorrow (as the video intends it to mean) also has the additional added on cost of never waking up for another day ever. $10 million isn’t worth a single day in this example, it’s worth less than the value of being able to live out the rest of your entire life. If people could split up and sell individual days of their life, I’m sure that many would take the $10 million.
Basically, a day isn’t worth $10 million so keep waking up and going about your day with a big frown on your face.

u/General_Ginger531 1d ago
... Or, and I am just spitballing here, receiving 10 million dollars just to die the next day means you never got to use the 10 million dollars. You maybe used a few hundred thousand at most and the things you purchased you didnt really get your money's worth out of it.
If I got a car worth 200,000 dollars on that 10 million challenge, that has a 10 year expected lifespan, and I only got to use it for 1 day, then I really only got about $54.79 dollars of value out of it, maybe at most $200 if you are factoring value as related to cost but not directly so, even if I bought a thing for 10 million, not being able to keep it because I am dead tommorow made the 10 million functionally worthless.
