gollark: There are two boxes in front of you, A and B. B has 10,000 dollars in it, and A contains either 1,000,000 or 0 dollars.You may choose to take either only box A, or take both boxes.A perfect oracle has predicted your choice beforehand, and filled box A with the money if and only if it was predicted that you would take only box A.

gollark: (My model for this is that if I find myself choosing between the boxes, I may be being simulated, so I can "change the past" ish)

gollark: You can't change the past, and given the boxes in front of you the two box option is strictly better.

gollark: I'll go harvest my original writeup of the money version.
