Close your eyes. Throw a stick in the air. Now, open your eyes and walk in the direction the stick fell.

You took the left fork.

Rewind the world, but not you. Repeat, but this time let the RNG of the universe choose another direction for that stick.

You took the right fork.

Both happened… you went down both forks, but you only know the fork you went down alone.

Exactly the same thing would occur… if you’re the cloned you’d see through your own eyes. If you were the clone, however, you’d see through the clone’s eyes. You’d be you to you in both cases, despite now being different yous.

Considering we’re all, effectively, clones of each other (modulo an actually extremely small amount of genetic drift) this shouldn’t feel all that surprising. Your brother isn’t you, neither is your fraternal twin, neither is your identical twin, and neither is your conjoined twin.

Thank you! That's so complex to realize... seems illogical.
