But why exactly do you apply your I to these duplicates?

Because I anticipate that 15 seconds from now, if I reject then there will be 1 thing with the subjective experience I anticipate I will have 15 seconds from now, and if I accept then there will be 9 things with the subjective experience I anticipate I will have 15 seconds from now.

That's not exactly why, but I think it's not bad for the amount of time I spent thinking about how to phrase it...

But each separate person will only experience one subjective experience. Why does it matter how many persons there will be?
