Comment on Newcomb's Paradox Needs a Demonparent

Comments

This is exactly what’s funny about the paradox – we both think that our choice is completely obvious.

My argument is that since the predictor is always right, the situation where you choose two boxes and you get $1001000 simply cannot happen, because then the predictor would’ve predicted your choice and placed nothing in the variable box.
