No. Anybody who wants to read everything you wrote can find it in about .9 seconds, they don't need me. > "you" always denotes the guy who remember pushing the button at Helsinki. That is actually a pretty good definition of "you" in that it's similar to the intuitive feeling we have for the pronoun that we get from everyday life; it would be even better if Bruno used it consistently. > Its only *first* person experience accessible are the incompatible W and M *experience* Obviously I agree that one person can not have a first person experience with 2 different cities at the safe time, but 2 people certainly can. And there are now two people who remember pushing the button at Helsinki, and if "you" really does "always denotes the guy who remember pushing the button at Helsinki" then "you" will see Moscow *and *Washington, the logic is inescapable. Bruno Marchal may find that conclusion repugnant but logic doesn't care about human tastes, it remains true regardless. The only way out is for Bruno to add some verbiage to the definition of "you". Then maybe Bruno could logically say "you will only see one city even though John Clark will see 2", although I'm not entirely sure what that extra verbiage would be.
