It goes the other way round. An excerpt of my post (section Newcomb’s Problem’s problem of free will):
Perceiving time without an inherent “arrow” is not new to scienceandphilosophy, but still, readers of this post will probably need a compelling reason why this view would be more goal-tracking. Considering the Newcomb’s Problem a reason can be given: Intuitively, the past seems much more “settled” to us than the future. But it seems to me that this notion is confounded as we often know more about the past than we know about the future. This could tempt us to project this disbalance of knowledge onto the universe such that we perceive the past as settled and unswayable in contrast to a shapeable future. However, such a conventional set of intuitions conflicts strongly with us picking only one box. These intuitions would tell us that we cannot affect the content of the box; it is already filled or empty since it has been prepared in the now inaccessible past.
This quote seems to be endorsing the Mind Projection Fallacy; learning about the past doesn’t seem to me to be the same thing as determining it...
