Would the number of iterations actually be infinite? Or would it merely approach
infinity while remaining finite? If it's the second then the difference between the two
choices grows without bound.
In the multiverse scenario, the redistribution always happens and always doesn't happen
so it doesn't matter what choice any agent makes. However, it might effect the measure
of the outcomes, if that matters.

This is John Stuart Mill's Veil of Ignorance :)
/John Rawls/ Veil of Ignorance. In Rawls ethical theory one agrees on how society will
work without knowing what position one will have in that society.
