In particular, there's no sense in which you can divide the number of twins who rolled a 5 by the total number of twins to get 5/6.
I agree with this, but why is it relevant for the Bayesian sense of probability? In step 1, my credence on the die being a 6 is obviously 1/6, and this does not require taking any ratio of actual results, finite or infinite. Are you saying that if I learn that the multiverse hypothesis is correct, it stops being 1/6 and becomes ill-defined? Why would it?
The secondary mathematical issue in step 5 is that you're pairing up two infinite subsets of a countable measure space which aren't guaranteed to have the same measure (especially since, as just mentioned, there's no uniform measure here).
I agree that something "funny" happens in steps 4 and 5. The challenge is whether learning this changes your credence, and if so why and to what. I am not sure you are explaining this. (Maybe the answer should be obvious from your words and I'm just not seeing it).
Something "funny" happens exactly in step 4. Specifically: Instead of pairing you with a random person, the angel is pairing you with a person selected by specific criteria "if you rolled 6, the other person didn't; and if you didn't, the other person did". Therefore, when meeting the other person, you should abandon the intuition that you both are a randomly selected pair.
The confusing part is that the situation is symetrical for both people. Yes, it is! But that is confusing only because we work with infinity here. You can rearrange a...
I saw this conundrum at Alexander Pruss's blog and I thought LWers might enjoy discussing it:
