I’ll take 7: The devil flips a coin which lands tails, hands you a handgun, and kindly asks you to shoot yourself. When you go “Uhh, no, why the hell would I do that?”, the devil tells you that he would’ve given you $X if the coin came up heads and if he predicted you’d shoot yourself if he flipped tails (and the devil is a honest and perfect predictor, of course).
While I don’t think most humans should take this deal even if it was a quantum coin, it seems like there could be a human with a reflectively endorsed preference to destroy half of their indexical-worlds to enrich the other half; and definitely many possible intelligent reflectively consistent agents will choose this, even if they valued their life more than a 50% (non-indexical) chance of getting the money.
