They are unstable/impossible not just in practice but in theory as well. It’s theoretically not possible for Omega to exist because the decision of 1-2 box is recursive. You’re essentially invoking a magical agent that somehow isn’t affected by infinite recursion.
“Omega can ‘snap’ through the infinite recursive loop.” No it can’t. And if you claim it can you’re essentially dropping a nuke inside your logical system that can probably produce all sorts of irrational true=false theorems.
2. Writing on whiteboards, acausal control is just superdeterminism
Brain in a box perfect duplication just implies determinism is true. We are all pure functions of our inputs, if you can perfectly duplicate the context and the function then the outputs will be the same(barring quantum randomness, but I’m assuming we claim that quantum randomness is also not actually random so superdeterministic physics or smth).
It indicates that the experience of choice is illusory. Neither of ‘you’ are deciding to do anything. You are just running the same computation in multiple duplicated physical locations. See
3. Determinism has 0 informational content. It is meaningless and you shouldn’t care about it
Let’s say you are faced with a choice: eat a burger or stick to your diet. Well the universe is pre-determined so you might as well eat the burger. Well the universe is pre-determined so you might as well not eat the burger.
There is no informational content in determinism. It’s illusory that we make choices… But so what? We can’t get an outside perspective over the 4D crystal of the universe we are a part of.
If it helps the wave function of your self to exist happier then just assume that it’s predetermined you’ll make all the correct, virtuous choices and then obviously you’ll make them and that’s that.
