Well then, facing duplication, would your expectation change to that of

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.
So what about the first part of the question?
I don't know what I would personally experience because "I" is ambiguous after
duplication. That's where I think John Clark has a point about pronouns. Of course Bruno
objects that this expectation question is about 1-p experience. But it is asked of H-man,
to whom the M-man and the W-man are like third persons. Perhaps it is enough for Bruno's
point that the question has no definite answer - I think he's just trying to motivate
indeterminancy.
