For anyone wondering, as of July 25, 2023, the puzzle is still stuck on the deciphering of the Liber Primus texts. Not much, if any, progress has been made since this video. There is a dedicated subreddit called r/cicada that is dedicated to the project if you are interested in learning more :)

When I listened to interconnectedness, I noticed the chords were constant. This reminded me of Pythagoras for some reason. Pythagoras believed that numbers were the ultimate reality, he taught his students to worship the mathematical order of the universe. He was also heavily interested in music and harmony, and saw the universe as a grand harmony. Pythagoras, however, was a cult leader. A religious figure. Well, I searched for any relation between Pythagoras and cicadas just to see if my weird hunch had anything to it, and sure enough, our understanding of cicada behavior through mathematics begins with Pythagoras. This means nothing likely but who knows, maybe the cult of Pythagoras still exists. They believed in immortality btw.

I think one of the biggest mistakes Cicada made was to involve leg work-- once leg work is involved, you're not going find the people who solved the puzzle, instead you're just going to find the grunts who do the leg work. Sounds like they did find some people they want, but they'd probably find even more if they had cut out the leg work phase. The other mistake is not doing a better job to keep the interest of their winning contestants-- to be fair, maybe they did find a few who actually stayed and were interested in their goals, but people would probably be more interested if they understand what the group is trying to do, and what they should prepare for... Sometimes people say yes, but then a few years later, the answer will no longer be yes. You can't really deal with people this way, like expecting them to still be in your pocket/aligned with you after years, when they aren't part of anything you did so far or are given no information for years. Social intelligence is just so undervalued by these highly intelligent type sometimes-- Sometimes this elitism and exclusiveness just rubs me the wrong way. I get not wanting the riffraff, but cramming your group with the same type of people means it's unlikely to detect a mistake that would have been apparent to people with a different skill set. (Assuming this really isn't just some sort of elaborate internet game. Honestly, as soon as leg work is involved, I thought it was just a game akin to the one from Gravity Falls-- which was really great and cool! But if it was an internet game, they probably could have done better than claiming to be people working on internet privacy/freedom of information, so I assume they are serious.) However, I think putting contradictory things in the email was brilliant. Without giving a clear signal of what answer they are really looking for, people are more likely to just answer honestly, rather than trying to game the answer. Spiking your interview with trap questions is a good way to weed out types you want to avoid. (Although maybe what they really believe is, only some information should be free. I mean, I don't believe ALL information should be free. The ones involving public interest, sure, but not the personal ones.) I also think going to 4chan is a good idea, as people there probably value their anonymity (hence align with the privacy concerns), so it was probably right place. Again, the biggest mistake probably was involving leg work.
@aquablast315510 ай бұрын
An example of a good trick question would be: "Are you willing to do ANYTHING we ask of you?" People who say yes that are probably either (or all of these): - People who are more interested in getting in than actually being sincere (i.e. they're going to say yes to make sure they get accepted, even if they don't mean it); - People who are willing to follow blindly without thinking for themselves-- i.e. a follower, the type people the Cicada explicitly aren't looking for; - People who think Cicada is some sort of shady group that _actually_ expects totally obedience. People who say no would say are more likely to be honest/sincere, and have the courage to actually say no/face rejection. (Although it's also possible that it's just someone who's apathetic about being rejected.) That, or the person was smart enough to actually discern what kind of people you're looking for.
@JongeKroost9 ай бұрын
I just find it all a bit pretentious. Like it's a cool mysterious puzzle and all that but at the end of the day you're just a bunch of smarter than average people with too much time on their hands writing some code. (Assuming cicada is a highly motivated ideological group of very smart boys and girls). To me it feels like they also want to show off. Look at how cool and smart we are.
@JongeKroost9 ай бұрын
People of average intelligence just tend to overestimate how smart smart people are. It's not like a video game where you have an intelligence stat and the more points you have in that stat, the smarter you are. There is a practically infinite amount of knowledge and information out there in the world. Way too much for one person to learn, be familiar with, or to even have heard of. Just because these people are good at programming and cryptography, doesn't mean that they have genius foresight into the what the 'world' 'needs' now or in the future. What do they know about politics, geopolitics, the legal system, human psychology, etc, etc. Just speculating here btw we don't know what their goals were if they had any. What I'm trying to get at is that people see a very intricate puzzle and they assume there must be an secret international organization of geniuses behind it. Who understand an know much much more about the world then we mere mortals do. And that's frickin bull. The people I work with all have a PhD or post doc. Some of my friends are really smart and skilled. But every one of them is just a person. And they tend to think pretty simplistic and naive things about the things outside of their area of expertise. Tldr: geniuses are bullshit. Cicada is just an bunch of nerds that are really good at programming or whatever. And have deluded themselves into thinking they are special.
@anagoth98 ай бұрын
@@JongeKroost You're not wrong in your broader point. Being "smart" doesn't make you omniscient, and like the person you're replying to was getting at, filling your team with too many similar individuals will create an intellectual bottleneck. I do want to push back a little on one thing though: "There is a practically infinite amount of knowledge and information out there in the world."..... "Cicada is just an bunch of nerds that are really good at programming or whatever." That first bit is undeniably true and the latter bit is very likely true too. Contextualizing the game under the latter point, it's easy to assume the creators overlooked the former point, and that the game is designed to only find individuals who are already good at the skills necessary to solve the puzzle. That's certainly possible, and if it turns out that they really only want to build a good encryption program then that probably IS all they're looking for. It's the most straightforward answer, after all. If all you're looking for is someone who is good at solving cryptographic puzzles, then sure, an elaborate cryptographic puzzle will find that, and yeah, being good at a small set of skills (even to an elite degree) does not equate to intelligence. However, it's also possible that the game was designed to test the former point as much as anything else. The game tests cryptographic knowledge, sure, but that's learnable. Throw the puzzle out on the internet in broadly visited forums and make it mysterious, and you won't just attract people who are interested in cryptography but also people who are interested in solving obtuse problems. You will attract people who don't already possess the necessary skills to crack the code but who are curious and devoted enough in solving a mystery that they are willing to teach themselves. The obsessive drive to solve a problem, the self motivation to remedy your own deficiencies, and the cognitive ability to actually learn a new skill and apply it effectively. Those would all absolutely be much more valuable, broadly applicable skills that define true "genius". Or it really is just a pretentious cryptography club. We'll never know.

@@KizanTM and everyone... assuming it's from the real cicada...why would anyone think that YES is the correct answer? Think about it. Of course they absolutely do NOT believe information should be free. They identified themselves as an international group concerned about individual PRIVACY and want intelligent ppl good at breaking codes presumably who will be good at creating secure codes. Theyre in the SECURITY business (whether biz or gov). The question weeds out those who say yes. See they knew to ask because 1. they know ppl playing the game, the ones with the skills they want, have been sharing info.2. It's common and well known trope that code breaker hacker types generally are on the political side of information being free, to varying degrees. So after passing the intellectual/skill test, now you have to pass the values alignment test too. So they need to weed those ppl out, those ppl would likely NOT agree with whatever is Cicada does...maybe it has to do with the protection of intellectual property. You're supposed to answer No. I have no idea why narrator assumed the opposite, but its leading us to think about it the wrong way instead of what just makes sense based on what we know. It seems pretty obvious because they defined their purpose as privacy. AND they were Very clear about NOT being hackers. They are not looking for chaotic good type ppl. They looking for lawfuls.

If you look up 3301 Cicada for Tallahassee Florida, it takes you south of the city to a wooded area where there is a crossroad intersection, which looking at it from a bird's eye view, forms an X or +, which is where the last clue was left, whereupon opening the small briefcase (which was attached to the backside of the largest tree nearest the center of this intersection) was the final contact number and cash for the expense of traveling to a very public place to meet 3301 and be invited to join their brain team. As the briefcase left the X area, another was put in its place, until they had invited the few who made it all the way to the end. Good luck to those who didn't make it. 3301

@RobinTheBot9 ай бұрын
I think the answer is really simple. It was in fact just a very ambitious group of friends. I've been in such groups, and for just one project they can do miracles. As soon as I saw the graph of the poster locations that's what I thought. It looks like 1-3 Americans, a single European, and a single korean could do it without any passports or long distance travel. Or as the video said, one rich guy could do it. The end, though, is the same in every group. Something (often just a simple spat) starts to create tension... Tension breaks the magical feeling of "we're working for great things"... Once that kind of obsessive sensation is gone you just go back to whatever you really care about most. The group slowly fades, lots of plans to revive it are made, and a die-hard or two stays on board until the last... And then they go too. Happens with fan discords, happens with social media cults. It's one reason actual conspiracies often fail. Keeping more than 2 people FULLY ENGAGED and FULLY PASSIONATE about a topic is incredibly hard to do for very popular and fun things... Now imagine doing it with hard work! Even if they're exactly the right people at the start (one in a million!) It's nearly impossible to be sure they will be after a year a two... Especially decades. I think they had a great idea for an ARG, used it as aediocre recruiting campaign (you're selecting for Internet ARG hobbyist when what you need is a fully fledged back end developer), and then realized that the truth of their plan ended with finding a super genius and profit. Then it turns out they got a bunch of 4chan nerds who just wanted more puzzles, and half of whom did it all for clout on 4chan.
