Well, this world is isomorphic to the real one. It’s just like if we’re actually in a Simulation; are simulated events any less significant to simulated beings than real events are to real beings?
Yes, if Eliezer goes for delete, we’ll survive in a way, but we’ll probably re-live all the time between the post and the Singularity, not just the last few days.

If my cryonics revival only loses the last few days, I’ll be ecstatic. I won’t think, “well, I guess I survived in a way.”
I’m not sure what you mean about re-living time in the future. How can I re-live it if I haven’t lived it yet?
Well, simulated-you will have experienced that period of time, and then ‘real’ you (or at least, the you that’s in the same reality as Eliezer) will experience those events, after Eliezer stops contemplating.

I don’t understand this thread.
I believe this relates to what has been called “[one’s] strength as a rationalist”.
