Physics focuses on worlds across the entire quantum superposition. That's a pretty big neighborhood, no? Agreed about decision theory. When I said "choose to spend" I meant "I have a few hours to kill but I'm too lazy to do problem sets at the moment", not "I choose thaumaturgy as the optimal thing to study".
Okay, that makes sense as a rich playground for acausal interaction. I don't know what pieces of intuition about physics you refer to as useful for reasoning about acausal effects of human decisions though.
