Assume that you you are randomly sampled from the set anyway
Arrive to an absurd conclusion
Magic!
Either a strong self-sampling assumption is false
Of course it is false. What are the reasons to even suspect that it might be true?
and-or path-based identity is true.
Note that path-dependent identity also has its own paradoxes: two copies can have different ’weights” depending on how they were created while having the same measure. For example, if in sleep two copies of me will be created and one of the copies will be copied again – when there will be 3 copies in the morning in the same world, but if we calculate chances to be one of them based on paths, they will be ½ and ¼ and ¼.
This actually sounds about right. What’s paradoxical here?

Arrive to an absurd conclusion
