I took the liberty of copying a few paragraphs from James Joyce's
book describing the causalist argument in Newcomb's Paradox. This is
the best statement of the argument for taking both boxes that I have
seen. I also included a short response of my own, which describes an
alternate way of viewing the paradox based on multiverse models.
