Yeah, I basically hope that enough people care about enough other people that some of the wealth ends up trickling down to everyone. Win probability is basically interchangeable with other people caring about you and your ressources across the multiverse. Good thing the cosmos is so large.
I don’t think making acausal trade work is that hard. All that is required is:
That the winner cares about the counterfactual versions of himself that didn’t win, or equivalently, is unsure whether they’re being simulated by another winner. (huh, one could actually impact this through memetic work today, though messing with people’s preferences like that doesn’t sound friendly)
That they think to simulate alternate winners before they expand too far to be simulated.
