How much amplitude is non-negligible? It seems like the amplitude that you have now is probably already negligible: in the vast majority of the multiverse, you do not exist or are already dead. So it doesn't seem to make much sense to base expected value calculations on the amount of amplitude left.

Is this feedback that I should update my model of the second sort of people? I'll take it as such, and edit the post above.
