Yes. I want somebody tomorrow who remembers being me today because
I prefer existence to nonexistence, others may have a different
preference and that's OK because there is no disputing matters of
taste.

I do expect to survive the copying process, even better I
expect I'll have a backup, although why my expectations should be of
interest to anyone but me I don't know.
Then the question “what future experiences will I have” is not
nonsensical. If it were then I could not have the expectation of
surviving, since to survive I must have future experiences, and I
could not conceive of having future experiences if “I” loses
meaning when I contemplate the post-duplication future.
Which explain why John Clark refuses to answer "P(tea) = ?".
He claims that he survives the duplication, but in the reasoning, he
cannot make that explicit without seeing that this would entail that
P(I survive in only one city) = 1 too, and so P(W v M) = 1.
John is clever, he use insults or simple omission to avoid the logical
trap that he sees very well (confirming that he get the point, but
does not want to concede it).
