use the copier to create a copy of myself, and as the copy I could do the household chores then self destruct to free up resources without worrying about my ‘self’ dying.
I wouldn’t do it in the first place, since there’s a fifty percent chance of me winding up doomed. But if the copy is already created than no, it would not be me dying.

That is absolutely dying.
if there was a resource conflict which required the destruction of a copy, I could decide that I was the ‘least important’ copy and self terminate without worrying about my ‘self’ dying.
That’s what I figured. If anything, I’d say that this is your core issue, not dust theory. Your sense of subjective self just doesn’t map well onto what it’s actually possible to do, so of course you’re going to get garbage results from time to time.

Same thing for this.
