My consciousness only follows one path, so yes, an indeterminate future Eitan Zohar will in fact be me. Since I'm no longer awake to keep the measure of my dominant reality stable, I'm worried that my unconscious mind will create it instead.
I don't see how you can coherently both endorse "Dust Theory" and also hold that "my consciousness only follows one path".
Yes, it does. In the future, I will not be perceiving events from other quantum branches. According to Dust Theory, the branches of me will continue experiencing events, but that isn't any good once I've separated from them!
All I'm saying is that a large measure of me may be going down a bad path.
