So yesterday before the duplication when there was only one it would be
idiotic to ask which one of the one will see Moscow!

I agree that is the point, and that's exactly why first person
indeterminacy is complete gibberish,  as rational a concept as asking " How
many blitzphits will a klogknee have tomorrow?"

Yes, with Everett if you ask me which version of me will be the man that
sees the coin come up heads when the coin is tossed tomorrow I will say it
will be the version of me that sees heads. And yes the answer is banal, but
then it was a banal question.

It's physically impossible to put myself in the shoes of the guys having
the experiences because 4 feet are involved and I only have 2, there are 2
guys having *A* first person experience.

Forget the answer, both before and after the "experiment" nobody even knew
what the hell the question was!

*DUH,* *I KNOW!* But it's your scenario not mine, something that is not an
experiment and something that contains very little thought.

Before the experience everybody and everything already knew that the man
who saw Moscow would be the Moscow Man and the man who saw Washington would
become the Washington Man, so after the experience everybody received
precisely ZERO bits of new information.

And that is my cue to say goodnight because i know from experience you
never say anything of interest after you invoke that word.
