About half the time Bruno Marchal implicitly defines the Helsinki Man the same way John Clark does, as anybody who remembers being the Helsinki Man; in which case the probability of the Helsinki Man seeing Washington in the future is 100%. But the other half of the time Bruno Marchal implicitly defines the Helsinki Man as someone who is currently experiencing Helsinki; in which case the probability of the Helsinki Man seeing Washington in the future (or anything else for that matter) is 0% because in the future nobody will be experiencing Helsinki anymore. These definitions and not congruent, and if that wasn't bad enough under neither definition is the probability 50%. >> And Bruno Marchal never explains which of those two first person points > of view "you" should put feet into > > Wong. I told you: all of them. Good, then the probability Bruno Marchal will see Washington is 100% and the probability Bruno Marchal will see Moscow is 100%. > You get stuck in the easy part of the derivation. > If that was the part of the proof that was the clearest and most obviously true then I'm very glad I didn't try to read more.
