Did you ever see IKWYDLS?
Yeah that brought up a funny memory. Back in the 90s I used to think somehow it was related to Scream. I have no real idea why, I think my brother just bullshitted me and I believed him.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Wariat if I was a rapist id have already fuked them or her at least and continued this stupid conversation or tried manipulating them. so no youre wrong on that one bud.
Just give it time. Eventually all this rejection and sexual frustration is going to climax and you're going to snap and start snatching girls like her right off the street.
What the fuck do you expect hanging out and talking to 16 year olds? A rich and insightful and mature level headed conversation? You're trying to fuck a child and talking to her about licking assholes and fucking dogs. You have no fucking game and are as smooth as a fucking porcupine. -
2021-11-12 at 9:18 PM UTC in Newcomb's Paradox ThreadSlightly more sophisticated argument but still vacuous. As always though, it's impressive you can burn this much intellectual effort on being wrong.
The neo-oneboxer position is that we don't have any real agency in picking a box (either we're destined to pick either A or A+B, or our decision is a probabilistic outcome) but that somehow we have agency in choosing to be a oneboxer or twoboxer. Which there is absolutely no reason to believe. Even if I subscribe to the questionable logic that informs your position, I have no more choice in being a one or twoboxer and convincing omega of that than I do in defying whatever the odds are of Omega being incorrect about which category I fall into. Maybe my lot in life is that when I'm confronted with Omega there won't be a million dollars, but I won't struggle against what I can not change, I boldly face down the blatant unfairness of the situation, the cosmic clockwork or random flux that brings me to that crossroads, and I will make the objectively correct decision for deceit would net me nothing but cost me my dignity. Foolish oneboxers seek to struggle against the tides of the cosmos but I flow with it. I accept the limits of my agency, but in so far as I have any I will use it correctly. You will thank me when I pogrom the plague victims and save your puny civilization for you do not deserve it but I will be there, the protector, the unmovable, the objectively correct. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of reason.

Originally posted by Lanny You know that's wrong you nigger. You know A+B is correct, you just wanted to meme. Fuck you Lucy, fuck you.
The objectively correct answer is B. Not memeing, it simply is. As would be demonstrated when we opened our boxes, and I came out $999,000 wealthier than you. And it'd all have been for the sake of... what? Being correct on paper?
Being very generous to two boxers and assuming that this time, A+B nets more utility/money/whatever, we still have to reckon with the fact that 100 times out of a 101, making the "correct" decision demonstrably meant making the worse decision. And is that actually even making the correct decision? Is that winning? If there were two tribes of equal sizes - the Onebox Tribe and the Twobox Tribe - and all were to get their chance at playing the game (disregarding any implications this might have for the initial hypothetical) the Onebox Tribe is all but guaranteed to quickly amass vast riches the likes of which the sad little Twoboxers could scarcely imagine.
Originally posted by Yud Maybe it's too easy to say that you "ought to" two-box on Newcomb's Problem, that this is the "reasonable" thing to do, so long as the money isn't actually in front of you. Maybe you're just numb to philosophical dilemmas, at this point. What if your daughter had a 90% fatal disease, and box A contained a serum with a 20% chance of curing her, and box B might contain a serum with a 95% chance of curing her? What if there was an asteroid rushing toward Earth, and box A contained an asteroid deflector that worked 10% of the time, and box B might contain an asteroid deflector that worked 100% of the time?
Would you, at that point, find yourself tempted to make an unreasonable choice?
A+Bers would happily choose to the answer most likely to get us killed in the asteroid formulation of this question. This is an undeniable fact. You would win on paper. Oh, you made the reasonable choice. You got us that 10% chance. But how much better is that 10% chance than a 0% chance? How much better is it really, when the alternative was a perfect solution you were all but guaranteed by the reliability of the predictor? With actual life or death stakes, the daunting off-the-paper reality that you're most likely dooming the planet to extinction looms pretty large. Anyone who would begrudge the oneboxer for taking a 99% chance at a guaranteed solution over a 100% chance on a solution that's likely to fail is an idiot. Practically speaking, B is the only reasonable choice.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Artist's rendition of Omega flying off to play another game - or perhaps back to its space-cube spouse, beta. At any rate its means of propulsion are unknown. You're welcome. Glad to help.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

It's amazing you haven't killed yourself yet.
