Re: Newcomb\'s Paradox
[ QUOTE ]
I have seen this question posed before in a couple of forms, and the real argument is "do we have free will or not."

I don't buy this. Free-will and the ability to predict the future are not mutually exclusive. You just have to have a more flexible concept of time to accomodate both concepts.
I am not religious myself, but I think this idea comes up alot for people who are. That is, people who need to reconcile the idea of an all-knowing god with the idea of free will. And I know lots of people believe these ideas can peacefully co-exist.
