This is because there is only one person around who has inherited the grand title of "you". None of that is true with Bruno Marchal's "theory" or in the thought experiment that attempts to prove it; and nobody can make a bet if nobody can pin down exactly what the bet is suposed to be about. >> but the situation is quite different with the MWI because it's >> unambiguous what the bet was about and there is no one around to dispute >> the outcome. > > > > *> That is not relevant for the prediction on the first person experience, > * > It sure as hell is relevant when you make a bet! You can't go to your bookie after the race and just say "In my mind's eye my horse won" and expect to collect your winnings from him. And if that wasn't bad enough in Bruno Marchal's thought experiment there is no such thing as *THE* first person experience. > > *You can make the WM thought experience with Robots* > How is replacing people with Robots suposed to rescue your drowning theory? If you do then in the WM thought experiment only one Robot will claim to have won, but in your thought experiment a gaggle of Robots will come forward all with equally valid claims to have won and you're right back in the ridiculous position you were before.
