You are the one badmouthing Helsinki Clark, because you are talking about him as if he were a zombie without his own view of reality. Helsinki Clark is perfectly capable of making a bet about what will happen next from his perspective. Even knowing that "his" perspective will be bifurcated, and that from the outside perspective both things will happen, Helsinki Clark, who is not a fool, knows perfectly well that nobody ever experiences the world from the third-person, scientific bird-eye view of things. No, he knows that we all experience reality from our own perspectives, and that this will lead to a moment in whatever thing is this that we call reality where he will have first-person (subjective) experiences of winning the bet. Or losing the bet. The thing is, Moscow Clark will experience winning the bet and this experience will be a consistent memory for him from then on. Even everything-list-Clark knows this, in fact he keeps saying that one's subjective experience is the probably important thing in the universe, and I agree. Context-dependency IS THE ENTIRE POINT OF PRONOUNS. And we already have duplication machines, we call them uterus.
