🧠Newcomb's Paradox (The All-Knowing Predictor)
An alien predictor who is 99.9% accurate offers you two boxes. Box A has $1,000. Box B has either $1,000,000 or $0. If the alien predicted you'd take only Box B, he put $1M inside. If he predicted you'd take both boxes, Box B is empty. Do you take Box B only, or both boxes?
