Suppose I have choice between the following:
A) One simulation of me is run for me 100 years, before being deleted.
B) Two identical simulations of me are run for 100 years, before being deleted.
Is the second choice preferable to the first? Should I be willing to pay more to have multiple copies of me simulated, even if those copies will have the exact same experiences?
Forgive me if this question has been answered before. I have Googled to no avail.
Explain to me how a bullet isn't yelling to my various components "Hey, the experiment is over, you can all go home."
If it turns out that my various components, upon being disassembled by a bullet, cannot function independently as distinct people, then the implicit analogy fails.
