I read Neoreaction A Basilisk. I didn't like it. My review:https://carcinisation.com/2016/05/07/there-is-no-basilisk-in-neoreaction-a-basilisk/ …
@GrumplessGrinch The Predictor's choice is made before you, but also after you. There's a bunch of chaff in the setup to distract from this.

@St_Rev No. The order of choosing is A. simulated me, B. the predictor, C. me now. A and C are the same but C doesn't know A. -
@GrumplessGrinch You just did it again, man.

@GrumplessGrinch Or, more precisely, the Predictor has two properties that contradict each other, with semantic padding so you get confused. -
@St_Rev Which properties? -
@GrumplessGrinch "The Predictor has already chosen" "The Predictor knows what you will do" -
@St_Rev Yes, I don't see why these are incompatible. -
@GrumplessGrinch I suspect I'm duplicating the argument in http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11229-011-9899-3 … -
@St_Rev Can only get the first page, but: They describe two answers to the problem, "realist" and "fearful". Realist requires "free will" -
@St_Rev So the answer to the "paradox" is just that of two contradictory answers, one is wrong. -
@GrumplessGrinch It's that the language obscures an inconsistency in the framework; make it explicit, and there's no paradox. - 8 more replies
