And there are also 2 people IN THE FIRST PERSON POV and one of them does
not have a stronger claim to having a subjective existence than the other.

You have been duplicated so there are TWO FIRST PERSON POV and they both
remember writing the diary, so which one is
Bruno Marchal talking about?

Yes, assuming that the pronoun "you" means what a fellow by the name of
Bruno Marchal says it means , namely " "you" concerns the guy(s) who will
remember having been in Helsinki".

No, assuming that the pronoun "you" means what a fellow by the name of
Bruno Marchal says it means , namely " "you" concerns the guy(s) who will
remember having been in Helsinki". And now ladies and gentleman let the
backpedaling begin! If we backpedal hard enough soon we will leave the
kingdom of the true but trivial and enter the land of gibberish.

There we go again with that damn weasel pronoun! But it won't get Bruno
Marchal off the hook this time, Bruno Marchal stated what it means, " "you"
concerns the guy(s) who will remember having been in Helsinki", therefore
the fellow named "you" has found himself to be in BOTH Washington and
Moscow.

And it was written by "you" and "you" now resides in Washington AND Moscow.

In the thought experiment there is no "the 1-you" there is only "a 1-you"
because YOU HAS BEEN DUPLICATED! That's what it means to be duplicated!
