THE META-NEWCOMB PROBLEM

THE META-NEWCOMB PROBLEM

ABSTRACT. I consider a twist of the Newcomb problem. There are two boxes in front of you and you are asked to choose between taking only box B or taking both box A and box B. Box A contains $ 1,000. Box B will contain either nothing or $ 1,000,000. What B will contain is (or will be) determined by Predictor, who has an excellent track record of predicting your choices.
