In real life, your decision doesn't depend on how you decide it. It just depends on the positions of your atoms and the laws of physics. So you might as well just decide arbitrarily, and save effort.

I would one-box.

So, if Omega programmed you to two-box, you would one-box?

That's not exactly consistent. In fact, that's logically impossible.

Essentially, you're denying your own scenario.
