I think any theory of “observer fluid” implies that people who narrowly escaped death multiple times are nigh-p-zombies. Maybe that’s a simple reductio of the whole idea, I’m not sure.
Not entirely. I have a theory of observer fluid that’s that people who are too similar only count as close to one person. You can’t really take advantage of it, because if you hurt just one, they’re now a different person.
This is mainly because I dislike the idea that you could be more of a person just by having bigger neurons. It seems equivalent to the idea that two people who act exactly the same count as one.
It still seems pretty bizarre, so I’m hesitant to accept it.
What if you did receive indexical information? Can you then use the process to make nigh-p-zombies who have an extremely low subjective probability?
