My problem with all this is, if hypothetical-me's decisionmaking process is made by genetics, why are you asking real-me what the decisionmaking process should be?
Real-me can come up with whatever logic and arguments, but hypothetical-me will ignore all that and choose by some other method.
(Traditional Newcomb is different, because in that case hypothetical-me can use the same decisionmaking process as real-me)
So, what if one day you learned that hypothetical-you is the actual-you, that is, what if Omega actually came up to you right now and told you about the study etc. and put you into the "genetic Newcomb problem"?
Well, I can say that I'd two-box.
Does that mean I have the two-boxing gene?
