Ok, if the button is thought of the “second agent” then I would guess TDT would not press the button. TDT would reason that the button will make the decision that the person who pressed the button is a psychopath, and therefore Paul should precommit to not press the button. Is that the right way to approach it?
Well, there is Paul, and then there is whatever acts on a button press, and evaluates whether Paul is a psychopath...
