On one hand you're saying it's good to identify with your copies, because then you can play iterated russian roulette and win. On the other hand, you're saying it's bad to identify with your copies, to the extent of caring whether someone tortures them. Presumably you don't want to be tortured, and your copies don't want to be tortured, and your copies are you, but you don't care whether they are tortured... congratulations, I think you've invented strategic identity hypocrisy for uploads!
Nah, I care about the copies that can interact with me in the future.
[edit] No that doesn't work. Rethinking.
