> So what you really want is to be in a state that will make you chose one box and you want to already be in that state at the time the predictor makes its predictions because the predictor will see this and place the million dollars into the second box.

Here’s the thing: no, I don’t. I’d much rather walk away with the easy million instead of risking it all for an extra thousand.

You can only get a thousand - take both boxes - or a million - take only the second box, zero and one million one thousand are not possible - or at least unlikely - because that would require a misprediction by the predictor but we assume an [almost] perfect predictor.

Then I for one choose the million.
