Cast

gollark: βee you.
gollark: Did we ever get a palaiologistical answer to the thing?
gollark: A+B or A. A has $1000 000 iff the oracle predicted you would only pick it. B has a fixed $10 000.
gollark: Depending on the model of time travel in use, you continuously generate alternate timelines, don't do the thing in the first place as the universe forbids it, or run into some ridiculously unlikely failure state of the apiochronoformic system in use.
gollark: Newcomb's paradox, yes.
