How much money would I have to pay you for you to let me rape you in a way that causes no physical trauma, after dosing you with a drug that prevents you from remembering the hour before or after it?
Would that dollar amount change if I told you I had already given you the drug?
The problem I see is your treatment of this arrangement as a “black box” of you[entering] and you[exiting]. But this is illegitimate. There were ten rounds of you[copy-that-dies] that would also be you[entering].
Have you read EY’s writings on timeless decision theory? It seems to me that this is a variation.
I’m not sure if I would.
It’s the same argument though.
