> If you’re simply saying “Because of my nature, I have already successfully pre-committed to one-boxing” then you are saying “I don’t have free will, I have to one-box, because I’ve cut off my other option”. And this is valid, but then you’re not “choosing”. (And please explain how you’ve committed.)
this is silly. of course i'm pre-committed to one-box, and i guess for that one brief moment in time I don't "have free will" or whatever. who cares? because trust me when it comes time to spend the million dollars I'll have free will in spades.
How do I know I'm having dinner tonight? How do I know I will stop at the next red light? These are also pre-committed decisions. In the end I don't think the "how" really matters - as long as I know I am pre-committed, then any predictor worth a damn must bend to my decision.

How have you pre-committed?
