Newcomb's Paradox: A Classic Thought Experiment

Newcomb's Paradox involves a hypothetical scenario where a person is faced with two boxes, one transparent with a known amount of money and the other opaque with an unknown amount. The twist is that a supercomputer has predicted the decision the person will make and has already placed the money in the boxes accordingly. If the person is deemed greedy, there is nothing in the opaque box. If the person is more altruistic and chooses only the opaque box, there is a million dollars inside. This paradox challenges the decision-making process and explores concepts of trust, greed, and predictability.
