​If after the duplication
 Bruno Marchal

stuff in that diary then it will have been proven that there really is such
a thing as **THE** 1P, if not then ​
Bruno Marchal

​If step 4 is built on the foundations of

​step 3 then it would be pointless to read step 4 until
the blunders in step 3
​are repaired, and if it is not built on those foundations then it was
unnecessary and foolish to include step 3 at all in your "proof". ​

​
So you agree the Helsinki guy will have a
​
future subjective experience
​ ​
of Moscow and you agree
​ ​
the Helsinki guy will have a future subjective experience
​ ​
of Washington but insist the Helsinki guy
​ ​
will not experience Moscow and Washington in the future.

​Bullshit. W says I remember seeing Washington ​one minute ago, and M says
I remember seeing Moscow one minute ago, so W is *NOT* M . But both W and M
say I remember seeing Helsinki one hour ago so both W and M *are* H.

​Until
​
 different
​ ​
outside stimulation
​ is received​
, like seeing
​a ​
different
city​
, both brains would be running identical programs in parallel
​,​
so John Clark would have only one conscious experience regardless of how
many identical brains were involved.

​Telepathy?? Oh for christ sake!​
