as many of my future selves as possible experience a future that I would want to experience.
Do you mean “as large a fraction of” or “as many as possible in total”? Because if you kill (selectively) most of your future selves, you could end up with the overwhelming majority of those remaining living very well…
As cousin_it has argued, “selectively killing most of my future selves” is something that I subjectively experience as “having a sizeable probability of dying”. That doesn’t appeal.
Ok, understood. So would you say that the fraction of future selves (in some copying process such as MWI) that survive == your subjective probability of survival?

Yup.
