Re: DS, god, and probability: the real brandi story
Assuming we can't work out which would be chosen, and chance of 2nd-guessing himself makes the choice effectively 50-50. And assuming devil's invention works perfectly.
So if he chooses naturally he gets either the (a) "80/20 deal etc" or (b) "magazine & venal sins"
Say he tosses an unbiased coin to choose instead:
1/4 same result (a)
1/4 (a) + "venal sins"
1/4 same result (b)
1/4 magazine only
These just need their utility priced up. Looks intuitively like choosing (not randomizing)just A is best here.
