Caledonian: you can stop talking about wagering credibility units now, we all know you don’t have funds for the smallest stake.
Ben Jones: if we assume that Omega is perfectly simulating the human mind, then when we are choosing between B and A+B, we don’t know whether we are in reality or simulation. In reality, our choice does not affect the million, but in the simulation this will. So we should reason “I’d better take only box B, because if this is the simulation then that will change whether or not I get the million in reality”.
