Is the Gandhi murder pill isomorphic to Parfit’s hitchhiker?
The basic situation is that the actor at time A can get a benefit conditional on them performing an action at time B, and currently that action seems good, but at time B it will predictably no longer seem good. So I think they are isomorphic, as in, if you can solve one then you can solve the other.
