Assume for a moment that you’re in the original, real (to whatever degree that word has meaning) universe, and you’re considering the vast numbers of copies of yourself that are going to be instantiated over future eons. Is there anything that the original you can do, think, or be which could improve your future copies’ lives? Eg, is there some pre-commitment you could make, privately or publicly?
I suppose I’d figure out how much variation from my current self I could incorporate into an instance and still consider it to be a reasonable copy of me. Then I might try to instantiate everything in that range and see what works best for whatever definition of best.
