If I have even a little bit of reason to believe the problem is newcomboid (like, I saw it make two or three successful predictions, and no unsuccessful ones, or I know the omega would face bad consequences for predicting wrongly (even just in terms of reputation), or I know the omega studied me well), I’d one box in real-life too.
Well, I am referring specifically to an instinctive/emotional impulse driven by the heavily ingrained belief that money does not appear or disappear from closed boxes. If you don’t experience that impulse or will always be able to override it then yes, one-boxing in real life would be just as easy as in the abstract.
As per my above response to shminux, I think this effect would be diminished and eventually reversed after personally observing enough successful predictions.
