Not very well, assigning probabilities is unquestionably the weakest part of the Many
Worlds theory. True, Everett derived the Born Rule from his ideas, but not in a way that
feels entirely satisfactory, not that its competitors can do better. The Many Worlds
interpretation is the best bad explanation of why Quantum Mechanics works.
So you recognize that it has the same difficulties with probability and personal identity
as Bruno's teleportation.
