Only CDT values knowledge.

Causal decision theory is often motivated as a 'revision of [decision theory] intended to solve Newcomb's problem' (Bacon 2022). In this paper, I give a direct argument for CDT by deriving it from a venerable decision-theoretic principle: the value of knowledge principle. The general framework that...

      ab: Causal decision theory is often motivated as a 'revision of [decision theory] intended to solve Newcomb's problem' (Bacon 2022). In this paper, I give a direct argument for CDT by deriving it from a venerable decision-theoretic principle: the value of knowledge principle. The general framework that I use to deliver this result also supports a new argument for conditionalization.
