The only reason it feels like uncertainty is because we automatically assume we're "one continuous person" - even if we know intellectually that there is going to be a duplication, we don't experience it, in the MWI or the teleporter. From that point of view the 1-p uncertainty makes sense. Since that's the POV we're used to, it's legitimate for us to at least feel as though we've experienced 1-p uncertainty, since that's the state both of us end up in. "Doubt from the future" is a very good description. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
