Bruno Marchal just agreed that the Helsinki guy will turn into the Washington guy and see Washington AND Bruno Marchal just agreed that the Helsinki guy will turn into the Moscow guy and see Moscow so obviously the Helsinki guy will see Moscow AND the Helsinki guy will see Washington. As for what this mysterious amorphous ambiguous entity named "he" will see who the hell knows, or cares. > You just explain the indeterminacy, which is not paradoxical because YOU HAVE BEEN DUPLICATED INDEED. Yes YOU HAVE BEEN DUPLICATED, so when Bruno Marchal asks the question "what city will "you" see?" who is supposed to be doing the seeing? And given that both the duplication and the seeing happens in the future who is Bruno Marchal asking the question of? > You just agreed above (and before) that the W-man and the W-man have the > right to say he is the H-man. > Yes but the H-man doesn't have the right to call himself the W-man or the M-man because while the H-man exists they do not, not yet, and nobody identifies with their future self but with their past self; that's why we see the past differently than the future.
