Brent,
Consider a simple computational analogy: if consciousness is a
program, running multiple instances of it doesn’t create different
"people"—it just creates more instances of the same subjective experience.
Not if has different input: eyes in different places for example.
Now, imagine we take a program that simulates an observer. We run it 9
times on computers that display "1" on the screen and once on a
computer that displays "0". Each instance of the program experiences
seeing either "1" or "0", but the overwhelming majority experience "1".
This mirrors how observer instances distribute in MWI:
That's the question. That's what needs to be explained. But you always
just assert it a some point and then say, "See I've explained it. And
it must be explained."
