spin up *UNDER MWI WHERE YOU'LL BE DUPLICATED DOING SUCH EXPERIMENT*, that
I will answer 0.5.... but when asking the same I who will push the button
what is the probability he'll see washington  *UNDER THE COMP DUPLICATION
EXPERIMENT WHERE YOU'LL BE DUPLICATED DOING SUCH EXPERIMENT* he talks
bullshit about doppelganger and invalid pronous use... well John...
bullshit and bullshit again... do us a favor, reject MWI.
