Bostrom and Danaher's books have a ton to offer. I especially recommend Danaher's (Bostrom's is very rich but sprawling and uneven). Still, I wanted to raise some key questions more compactly. I hope this could be an introduction to the issues for those without any background (e.g. undergrads). 4/5

This is a new area for me, and I was lucky to work with Robbie and Adam as guides and mentors. The paper was the product of a number of fortuitous conversations (see the acknowledgement). It was rewarding to work on, and we hope it'll be a rewarding read as well! n/n

Our argument relies instead on decision-theoretic "dominance" principles. We show that, if there are cases of incompleteness, two compelling dominance principles will conflict. The basic problem is stated in one page (p. 3) – it’s quick to get into: I encourage you to check it out!
