Does the correctness of one-boxing require determinism, aka lack of free will?
I don’t think so, which is the gist of my last post—I think all it requires is taking Omega’s track record seriously. I suppose this means I prefer EDT to CDT—it seems insane to me to ignore evidence, past performance showing that 99% of everyone who’s two-boxed so far got out with much less money.
Essentially, Omega views all people as divided into two classes: one-boxers and two-boxers.
No more than a typical coin is either a header or a tailer. Omega can simply predict with high accuracy if it’s gonna be heads or tails on the next, specific occasion… or if it’s gonna be one or two boxes, already accounting for any tricks. Imagine you have a tell, like in poker, at least when facing someone as observant as Omega.
All right, I’m done here. Trying to get a direct answer to my question stopped feeling worthwhile.
