New Video! Is Perfect Prediction Possible?
Hi all,
It's Josh here, from MinutePhysics.
Here is the latest video Henry and I worked on - a response to Veritasium's video on Newcomb's paradox.
When you first learn about this paradox, you will very likely believe there is obvious solution. But when you think about it more, all the fascinating details of why it is a paradox become clearer - there really is a sound argument for both one-boxing and two-boxing.
However, one aspect that many people avoid when discussing the paradox is could the setup be physically real - and this is what we explore in this video. In fact, the way that you interpret the setup changes how you should decide on what to do.
Henry spoke directly with Derek about this - the full interview will be uploaded here on Patreon :)
Hope you enjoy the video,
Josh

I love Causal Calculus. Never looked into that before, but it makes perfect sense in a situation like this. Only question I have is why you did not speak with Casper. since he seemed to be the driving force behind the video.
