In other words, ask yourself: "What would William Lane Craig do?"

Then don't do that.

At best, don't do that for the same reasons he did - but even there I'm sure that he's right even on the reasoning some of the time.

Fun fact: William Lane Craig has rigorously argued that it's best to one-box on Newcomb's problem.

If the rule you followed led you to this of what use was the rule?

That question has some surprising correlations more generally (at least for someone who's been trained to cluster LW positions together into a natural set.)

Recced because it is funny and relevant, I am actually quite enjoying the Chigurh quotes. Although I am tired of Will always bringing in Catholic stuff. :)

Lane Craig isn't Catholic, and I didn't bring him up.

I hadn't heard of him before. [follows the link]

Craig modifies the thought experiment by introducing operations such as subtraction and shows that subtracting identical quantities from identical quantities would have non-identical remainders.[9] Since we have no evidence of such things in the actual world

Don't we?
