Why watch

This video explores Newcomb's Paradox, a famous decision theory problem where a perfect predictor presents a choice between one box and two boxes. Henry Reich discusses the causal vs. evidential decision theory debate and whether quantum mechanics could allow for perfect prediction while preserving free will. Ideal for viewers interested in physics, philosophy, and game theory.
