That actually isn't an answer to the clarification I asked of Viliam. If you (are sane and so) consider quantum roulette undesirable then naturally you consider the folks who forced it upon you to be assholes. Yet you are the (measure of the) guy that won the lottery, didn't die and got the $300k. If Viliam considers parallel copies not-me then after the coin is tossed he doesn't care (in the direct personal sense) about the other 'not-me' guy who lost and got killed.
Mind you the language around this subject is ambiguous. It could be that Viliam's expression was intended to place parrallel-everett-branch selves into a qualitatively different class to other forms of parallel selves.
I see what you are saying now. Thanks for clarifying.
Glad to hear it. I hope my inclusion of parenthetical 'sanity' claims conveyed that I essentially agree with what you were saying too.
Yea, that helped.
