I have two questions:

What does it mean to say "the probability that I am experiencing X"?
Naively we would say that either I am experiencing X or I am not, and
I know which is the case, so there is no probability involved. It seems
that what is really being defined is "the probability that a random
conscious event consists of someone experiencing X".

How do you come up with the probability assignments for events? Where did
your 1/7, 2/7, etc. come from?
