I’d argue that quantum physics fires a bullet to the head of determinism, because it implies that our universe has ontologically basic randomness to it. So I disagree with the idea that determinism is anything more than a useful abstraction.
That’s true, but trying to construct a quantum decision theory before we can even do it for Newtonian physics would likely be foolish.
If the basic problem is determinism , it might be easier.
Feel free to try if you want, though I’d bet you’d just be making things harder for yourself.
There’s a set of assumptions under which counterfactuals are no problem.
Okay, I’ll accept this toy problem, though I was caught off guard by conclusion 3, since that was overstated at best.
I think I had a footnote about it at some point, but I seem to have managed to delete it.
