This paper explores the concept of counterfactual mugging, a thought experiment used to motivate updateless decision theory. It rephrases the problem to clarify the role of counterfactuals and simulated agents. The author draws parallels between counterfactual mugging and Psy-kosh's non-anthropic problem, demonstrating how they represent similar decision-making challenges in probabilistic scenarios. AI
