Newcomb's Paradox is resolved by recognizing that Newcomb's demon has a non-terminal perspective where it can make perfect predictions; in this framework, taking only the opaque box (trusting the demon's prediction) is the rational choice because the demon's knowledge comes from a domain where free will is preserved.
