Newcomb's problem

Post by Thrawn »

I'm surprised by how much attention Newcomb's Problem is getting on r/philosophy: https://www.reddit.com/r/philosophy/com ... _world_of/

I'm also surprised by how doggedly people are clinging to the two-box solution. It pays only $1000, while one-boxing pays $1M. It's not that complicated...

True religion, which dares to acknowledge death and challenge the way we live, is an attempt to wake up.
