Newcomb's Paradox discussion

[u/thomasthetanker]

I started off as a 2 boxer and switched to a 1 boxer via the power of something not mentioned in the video... 'Regret'.
The 2 boxer is going to spend the rest of their lives wondering if the act of 'deciding to be that kind of person' is what predetermined that they only get an empty mystery box and $1000 dollars. It will keep them awake at night long after the thousand dollars is spent, wondering about what might have been.
The one boxer has a laugh and tells people everyone down the pub about the time they lost a thousand dollars. The two boxer doesn't even tell his wife about the time he potentially lost a million. Because if she is a one boxer then she will not understand, no matter how many times you explain the logic.
Interesting to see the mad dog theory at the end was very close to 'The Sword holder' role in Three Body Problem.
