Meaning you're in the same boat as me? Confused as to why this ever became a point of debate in the first place?
...no? I didn't realize that the decision theory could be varied, that the obvious decision theory could be invalid, so I hit a point of confusion with little idea what to do about it.
But you're not saying that you would ever have actually decided to two-box rather than take box B if you found yourself in that situation, are you?
I mean, you would always have decided, if you found yourself in that situation, that you were the kind of person Omega would have predicted to choose box B, right?
I am still so majorly confused here. :P
I have no idea! IIRC I leaned towards one-boxing, but I was honestly confused about it.
Ahah. So do you remember if you were confused in yourself, for reasons generated by your own brain, or just by your knowledge that some experts were saying two-boxing was the 'rational' strategy?
