3. What is the name of the city you see before you? Washington
4. True/False: You see two cities right now: False

6. True/False: The prediction that you see Moscow was: False
7. True/False: The prediction that you see Washington and Moscow
was: False
8. True/False: The prediction that you see Washington or Moscow was:
True
And every single one of those 8 questions had the personal pronoun
"you" in it, which in a world with people duplicating machines is an
ambiguous word, and that means they aren't questions at all
they're just a sequence of words with a question mark at the
end. And it isn't a thought experiment, it's a thought
muddle.
So let me help you out by rewriting those questions so they
make sense. The answers are in bold:
1. What city did John Clark last recall being in? Helsinki
2. How many cities does John Clark see now? Two
Wrong, no John Clark can ever see two cities. No John Clark has ever
become two person at once from the 1p view, which was the obvious
intent. The duplication does not fuse the resulting 1p experience. You
fake to misunderstand.

3. What is the name of a city John Clark sees now ?
Moscow
4. What is the name of another city John Clark sees
now? Washington
5. True/False: John Clark sees two cities right
now: True
6. True/False: The prediction that John Clark will
see Washington was: True
7. True/False: The prediction that John Clark will
see Moscow was: True
8. True/False: The prediction that John Clark see
Washington and Moscow was: True
9. True/False: The prediction that John Clark will see
Washington or Moscow was: Dependents on if it's a exclusive
"or".
A person duplicating machine duplicates "you". That needs repeating,
a person duplicating machine duplicates "you". All of "you" is
duplicated, there is no essential youness or soul that the machine
can't duplicate. When "you" is duplicated that means there is more
than one, so to then ask what one and only one city "you" will see
is just dumb. Equally dumb is to talk about "THE 1p" as if there
were only one when that has been duplicated too just like everything
else about "you".
And neither the John Clark in Washington nor the John Clark in
Moscow sees the slightest need to apologize for pointing out this
imbecility.
