Benja: But it doesn’t follow that you should conclude that the other people are getting shot, does it?
I’m honestly not sure. It’s not obvious to me that you shouldn’t draw this conclusion if you already believe in MWI.
(Clearly you learned nothing about that, because whether or not they get shot does not affect anything you’re able to observe.)
It seems like it does. If people are getting shot then you’re not able to observe any decision by the guards that results in you getting taken away. (Or at least, you don’t get to observe it for long—I’m don’t think the slight time lag matters much to the argument.)
