Maybe not in so many words but I assumed it was clear in the footnote (which I have not edited).
I do think an analogy with decision theory is valid though:
two-boxer says: “I won’t decide in advance not to pick both boxes, it’s only ‘rational’ to decide in the moment, I don’t care I’m predictably leaving out winnings ex ante”
You might say: “I won’t decide in advance not to believe I’m a Boltzmann brain, it’s only ‘rational’ to decide in the moment, I don’t care that I’m predictably sabotaging the accuracy of my future beliefs”
Or if you don’t agree with that… then what would your opinion be on that?
