Surely this is an exageration. I recall that I am still waiting for you showing a flaw in the UDA (the "Joel" version). But here you betraye yourself: > ... since it's a nonsensical belief. You admit not having read the "reasons/explanations" we propose because you "know" at the start "it's a nonsensical belief"!!! You are begging the question since the beginning. But I am still waiting *you* explain me how in the W M duplication, you can both still believe in comp and pretend the question of what I will feel is nonsense. Oh yes I remember, you don't see the difference between 1 and 3 person point of view ... Like some physicist you tranform the methodological evacuation of the subject in an ontological dogma. Indeed I see you say that words like "me" or "you" are mere definition. I believe the contrary, from the 1 person point of view, the word "me" is not even definissable. That is what makes grandma psychology not really intuitive in the multiplication settings, but that is why I replace it eventually by the self-reference logics where the consistency of comp immortality (and so at least the sensicalness) is beyond doubt. Of course I have infinite doubt about that immortality, but I have no doubt comp entails it logicaly/arithmeticaly. About your saying you are sane, at first i take it for an attempt being comical. Your last answer to Hal Finney is really uncomical. Scientist always doubt ... You talk like you have certainty on our subject matter, which as Hal said is certainly not "easy" (not easy at all). Also I (re)read you implementation paper where, as I said, you definitely and admittedly don't have solved the implementation problem, but then why do you injuriate us with seemingly certainties? I'm also less and less sure bayesian reasoning works in our mathematically infinite context ... Bruno
