If I wake up in a red room after the coin toss, I’m going to assume that there are a billion of us in red rooms, and one in a green room, and vice versa.
That way a billion of me are assuming the truth, and one is not.
So chances are (Billion-and-one out of billion) that this iteration of me is assuming the truth.
We’ll each have to accept, of course, the possibility of being wrong, but hey, it’s still the best option for me altogether.
Tomorrow I’ll talk about what sort of trouble you run into if you reply “a billion to one”.
Trouble? We’ll take it on together, because every “I” is in this team. [applause]
