I believe this trick wont work neither. Because here I, as Tegmark puts it, can have the same argument from the BIRD(3rd person) view. I as the BIRD know that every observer has a distinct self, because he/she can ask why he/she is some where and not some other where, while some other copies of him/her really are in those other wheres! So still there's a discrimination. I hope I have understood that part correctly; if not Russell can correct me. I guess my argument shows as far as there's consciousness zero information for the whole universe is impossible. Some one HELP!

Information content of multiverse
Hi everybody, While I was reading the previous discussion; justifying theory of everything , I thought of my recent problem with still imperfection of our TOE. The problem is: Multiverse by itself is a choice, and every choice by it's nature has some bias and information.
