I agree that it all depends on definitions, in this case the definition of "I". If the definition of "I" is "somebody who remembers being John Clark in Helsinki before the duplication" then it's obvious how many cities "I" will see. Bruno wants "I" to see only one city but the only way to do that is to change the meaning of "I". > > I argued that in worlds with duplication machines I can expect my future > to involve numerous mutually exclusive perspectives. > Exactly. > > > There is 1 person and then that person in each city. > Correct again. Sometimes the language in dealing with this sort of thing can sound a bit awkward, but English was not made to be used in a world with people duplicating machines; once these devices become common personal pronouns are going to need major revisions.
