Well, under MWI there are people who “are” you in sense of having been born to the same mother on the same day, but their branch diverged early on so that they are very unlike you now. And still they are also “you”.
True, and as I said, I feel like those people are indeed closer to cousins. But when we’re talking about life and death situations such as those that QI applies to, the “I’s after branching” are experientially so close to me that I do think that it’s more about immortality for me than about me just having a bunch of cousins.
