Brent,
I stopped a long time ago to read the 'transported' versions for one
reason:
if it is REALLY (only) a transport, it does not make a difference
whether "you" will CONTINUE in Moscow or in Helsinki, it is 'your'
undisrupted self. However, if it goes into a multiple existence then
- my problem is - what happens to the 'experience' of self1 while you
consider yourself at self2 location? the self-s inadvertently diverge
so you cannot be both (or more).
In such case the 'pronoun' sindrom is valid. "YOU" are the "ONE"
passing several locations - accumulating continual experience upon
yourself (the 1) and if you happen to return to a former one, it will
not be "YOU".
I think the conclusion is that there is no "you" in the sense of
unique. It's like talking about "the" dollar coin. If it's
duplicated or multiplied it's not unique and "you" is ambiguous -
which is what John Clark complains about.

Hi Brent,
Isn't this the concept of "fungibility" that D. Deutsch goes on and
on about?

Onward!
