Is your majority vote problem related to Condorcet's paradox? It smells so, but I can't put a handle on why.

I cheated the PD infinite regress problem with a quine trick in Re-formalizing PD. The asymmetric case seems to be hard because fair division of utility is hard, not because quining is hard. Given a division procedure that everyone accepts as fair, the quine trick seems to solve the asymmetric case just as well.

Post your "timeless decision theory" already. If it's correct, it shouldn't be that complex. With your intelligence you can always write a PhD on some other AI topic should the opportunity arise. But after conversations with Vladimir Nesov I was kinda under the impression that you could solve the asymmetric PD-like cases too; if not, I'm a little disappointed in advance. :-(
