A quote for those of you who are interested in decision theory, taken from Counterfactuals and Newcomb's Problem (sorry, though: gated link):
ETA: I realised that this might require context (otherwise it looks a little like I'm just randomly presenting a quote which makes a point that the community has heard often before). I thought that the quote was interesting because it's an example of philosophers who think that some concept of logical dependence should be more important than causal dependence in relation to rational choice. This view seems to be interestingly linked to the views of various people on LW.
