Under this hypothesis if I am duplicated both the resulting continuations are equivalent immediately posterior to duplication. Consequently I repeat my question: if *you* were duplicated in this manner, would you reasonably expect that either of the resulting equivalent continuations would experience a two-valued outcome?No, but as I said, that's regarding them as third persons. Well, the very logic of the hypothesis dictates that *both* continuations inherit the first personal perspective of the original and this will always be single-valued. But, as you said, there is an ineliminable ambiguity because neither can record anything first-personal that incorporates that third-personal doubleness. IOW it always seems as if there is only one of me (1p) even in the case that I know there are two of me (3p). Do you agree that this ambiguity is sufficient for step 3 to go through?You sound as though you want to sell me something. I have no interest buying the argument one piece at a time or swallowing it all at once. I'm interested in understanding it and it's consequences.It's seems to me that following the argument step by step is then the thing to do... and if you disagree with a step, explain why...
When an argument is a reductio you don't necessarily know which step to disagree with. Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
