> Kill the guy with the key to your prison cell because he might interfere with your position as king of the cell? Absurd. I think the basic logic makes sense, it's sort of analogous to the ultimatum game in game theory. I don't know any good theories of rationality that suggest taking bad deals in the ultimatum game, even if in theory they "get you out" of the universe somehow. On Permutation City, well, I'm somewhat skeptical of how it was written to work.
