Yes.

No, that is NOT what I said! I said that if Russell Standish were duplicated then
Russell Standish would be in Moscow and Washington. I also said the vague and sloppy
use of words like "you"and "he" and "I" and "the man" is at the root of Bruno's
intense confusion, and apparently yours as well.

Bullshit. And this beautifully illustrates why I am reluctant to go back to square one
and list all the blunders Bruno made in just the first few pages that I read, I have
already written about 6.02*10^23 posts that covers the subjects in this post and most
are in far far greater detail.
Just provide one link.
We have answered them all. You kept repeating the same confusion between different
person points of view, or, in some post, you confuse the phenomenology of the
indeterminacy with all their different logical origins. In many, you just change the
definitions given.
I have come to the conclusion that logical arguments will not convince anybody if it is
their policy to first decide what they want to believe and only then look for evidence
to support it.
I have never met a scientist not convinced by the first person indeterminacy, accepting
to discuss this privately or publicly.
You try to avoid the debate, and that's the only strategy used by philosophers to hide
the (quite simple) discovery.
You act like a pseudo-religious dogmatic pseudo-philosopher, it seems to me. If you
would have a real argument, you would take a pleasure to explain it calmly, and without
using insults and mocking hand waving.
So, provide an argument, answer the questions, or try to admit that you lost
your point.
I'm not sure you even need to convince JC of the FPI due to duplication. He already
believes there is uncertainty due to MWI of QM. Isn't that enough for your argument to
proceed.
