If there was a time travel event, such that me and me tomorrow existed at the same time, would we have the same thoughts? No.
Would we have the same emotions? No.
We would be different.
If it was a time travel event causing diverging timelines I’d consider it a net gain in utility for mes. (especially if I could go visit the other timeline occasionally :D )
If it was a time loop, where present me will inevitably become future me? There’s still precisely as many temporal mes as there would be otherwise. It is neither innately a gain nor a loss.
You are one person today and tomorrow. You don’t think, that the tomorrow copy of you is useless?
Me today vs. me tomorrow is divergence. If each copy exists in an identical, non-interacting world there’s no divergence.
