For the people for whom it does seem to make sense to identify with copies of themselves, do those people come to that conclusion because they anticipate being able to experience the input going into all of those copies somehow? Or is there some other reason that they use?
I don't understand it. I hypothesise that they take on the idea ("you suggest I should think that? oh, OK") and have a weak sense of self, but I don't have much data to go on except handling emails from distressed Basilisk victims (who buy into this idea).
