Some say so. Spencer and Wells (2019) and Ahmed (2021) have constructed a single-choice case in which causal decision theorists end up poorer than evidential decision theorists\, despite having the same amounts of money available to them. Echoing Lewis (1981)\, they pose to causal decision theorists the pointed question: \"Why ain'cha rich?\" In reply\, I describe a single-choice case in which it is the causal decision theorists who end up richer. More generally\, given any graspable decision theory I give a recipe for producing a situation in which that theory is\nsubject to a \"why ain'cha rich\" accusation. So \"why ain'cha rich\" accusations are equally damaging to all graspable decision theories\, and hence do not favor any such theory over any other.\n\nPLEASE NOTE ZOOM PASSCODE AND LINK TO JOIN:\nZoom Link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91518203272\nPasscode: 123456
