To whomever is giving nemesis trouble irl: If you believe in free will, then exercise it by not doing that anymore. If you don't believe in free will, then we'll make you stop 🔪

I haven't read about UDT, but if the wikipedia screenshot is accurate then it seems like something I could get behind. Seems related to the "precommitment" I was ranting about earlier, because both deal with forced decisions in counterfactual worlds.

For this last message, I am 100% with you on the first three things. (I want to remark to @hidden that the third point, about logical entropy being produced by decision-making, is related to my take on Maxwell's Demon from a while ago, "knowledge is power.") I'm not sure I fully grok the last point because I can imagine an algorithm which merely processes information and draws inferences without making decisions, maximizing utilities, or computing optimal actions.
