Default Re: DS, god, and probability: the real brandi story

If I'm understanding your settup right, we had a pretty lengthy discussion of this topic a while back. The logical problems involving foreknowledge and free will. Is it possible to know what the foreknowledge must be and thereby take advantage of it by switching to the more beneficial decision which contradicts the foreknowledge? Does the decision produce the foreknowlege or does the foreknowledge force the decision? I don't think we ever reached a consensus about what was going on. The analysis got very tricky to the point of being hard to distinguish from babble. I suspect we needed another dimension of thought to make sense of it.
