You can acausally determine the behavior of characters in stories based on your own behavior. If you have behavior X, and that is because rationalisty people tend to have behavior X, and Scott is writing a story about a rationalisty person, then your decision to have behavior X makes the person in the story more likely to have behavior X.
The expected number of actual people trying the quantum billionaire trick is much smaller than the expected number of fictional people written by Scott trying it, so if you value the results of your decision system in fictional situations even a little bit (for example because fiction affects opinions) it may be rational to behave as if you're in a Scott story.
