Yea I’m not really trying to make any action-relevant point, just pointing out that if we accept three premises which are not that uncommonly held here on LessWrong we get something weird. Also if anything this makes me more scared of death since I would have no idea or control of how I am “respawned” and by whom.
And FWIW I’m skeptical of the reduced measure response to quantum immortality, it feels like cope to me. I don’t intuitively see why I should not care about my anticipated experiences more than some mathematical construct.
Makes sense! And yeah, IDK, I think the concept of ‘measure’ is pretty confusing itself and not super convincing to me, but if you think through the alternatives, they seem even less satisfying.
