This Veritasium episode explains decision theory in general, and Newcomb's Paradox in particular, which elicits some interesting questions about both free will and rationality, along with America's past "Cold War" policy of mutually-assured destruction (and games of "chicken"), and shows the importance of pre-committing to correct decisions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol18JoeXlVI #Mathematics #DecisionTheory #NewcombsParadox #FreeWill #Rationality #MutuallyAssuredDestruction
