Of course, as I said some time ago, the easiest resolution of you
logical conundrums is that JC ~ H does not survive, and that there
are three new persons, one in each city, so the probability that
JC in H will see Sydney is exactly zero.
Well... if that's what survival means then I don't care if I survive
or not, if we use your easy resolution then I died yesterday, but my
death doesn't seem to have cramped my style any.
So you were duplicated yesterday? One, quite reasonable, way of
regarding our continuing existence from day to day, moment to moment, is
that in every instant we die, to be reborn in the next instant. In fact,
I am sure that someone else has already made this point (I can't, at the
moment, remember who).
If I know that something tomorrow will remember being John Clark today
then I'm content, after all that procedure worked pretty well in
conserving what I want conserved during the transition form yesterday
to today, so if the same thing happens in the transition from today to
tomorrow I should be OK. And if tomorrow more than one thing remembers
being John Clark today then that's even better. The more the merrier
.
If you are happy, then fine. But are your dopplegangers equally happy --
they no longer exist, after all.....
Bruce
