But is it rational to entertain theories about differences in external reality that could never make any difference to subjective or objective experience?
I value other minds existing to interact with me, even if I can't perceive them directly. And I value waking up tomorrow in the same universe (more or less) that I'm in now.
Is this rational? Eliezer defines rationality as systematized winning; I'm pointing out what.
Under DT, and MWI, which are not the same, you wake up in all the universes you were ever in.

You might have a concern about your measure being dominated by simulations.That isnt the same as jumping. Also, you can only be simulated if you ever had a real life, so it's possible to take the glass half full view, that the simulations are a bonus to a fully real life, not a dilution.
