(status: silly) newcombs paradox solutions: 1: i’ll take both boxes, because their contents are already locked in. 2: i’ll take only box B, because the content of box B is acausally dependent on my choice. 3: i’ll open box B first. if it was empty, i won’t open box A. if it contained $1m, i will open box A. this way, i can defeat Omega by making our policies have unresolvable mutual dependence.
