No I don't.
I think Stathis's theory is wrong because his
winning the lottery would subjectively be 50:50.
I think Barbour's theory is wrong because it is arbtitrary, and
un-phsycially
motivated, to claim that the SWE determines a level of consciousness.
I don't have a theory of measure, or need one, because I go
for the simple soution. WR universes(including those in which
I am a lottery winner) are not subjectively experienced because
they don't exist.

What is existent is material and vice-versa.
