But only insofar as he reasonably expects himself not to be duplicated.
Well then, facing duplication, would your expectation change to that of personally
experiencing a simultaneous two-valued outcome? And if the answer is yes, does that
imply that you would reject MWI as a possibility because (I presume) you have never in
fact experienced such an outcome?
I wouldn't say "reject" since it is possible, but MWI is very different it is just
projection onto different orthogonal subspaces of the Hilbert space. Bruno's
teleportation is necessarily classical and it depends on consciousness being *classically*
duplicated.
