As was pointed out numerous times, it well may be possible to foretell your actions, even by some variation on just reading this forum and looking what people claim to choose in the given situation. That you came up with specific examples that ridicule the claim of being able to predict your decision, doesn't mean that there literally is no way to do that. Another, more detailed example, is what you listed as (2) simulation approach.
Case 3, "terminating Omega", demonstrable contradiction.
I already explained where a "simulator Omega" has to lie to you.
Sorry, I don't want to spend any more time on this discussion. Goodbye.
FWIW, I understand your frustration, but just as a data point I don't think this reaction is warranted, and I say that as someone who likes most of your comments. I know you made this post in order to escape the rabbit hole, but you must have expected to spend a little time there digging when you made it!
