If you flip a fair quantum coin, have your exoself generate 100
separated isomorphic copies of you conditional on the coin coming up
heads, then, when (all of) you are about to look at the coin, should
your subjective anticipation of seeing "heads" be 1:1 or 100:1?
This is a question that confuses even me, btw.
