I’ve been slow getting the philosophy papers blog
done today because I’ve been doing a headless chook impersonation trying to
get my classes ready. Hopefully it will be up by early afternoon. Apologies
for the delay.

In the meantime, I’ve been thinking about these Purgatory
problems some more (scroll down for details) and I’ve been wondering what the
consequences are of adopting the following rule: Leopold should accept a deal
iff were the deal to be offered repeatedly, the probability that he would be
making a profit by accepting it every time would tend to 1 as the number of
times the deal is accepted tends to infinity.

Discuss.
