No, I wouldn't but that doesn't solve this problem! You may say, OK you are
existing in all other universes, and I still would answer the same way: as
far as 'I' am here, there has been a bias; I mean why 'I' am not the other
one in the other universe. You see my point?

I believe this trick wont work neither. Because here I, as Tegmark puts it,
can have the same argument from the BIRD(3rd person) view. I as the BIRD
know that every observer has a distinct self, because he/she can ask why
he/she is some where and not some other where, while some other copies of
him/her really are in those other wheres!
So still there's a discrimination.

I hope I have understood that part correctly; if not Russell can

I guess my argument shows as far as there's consciousness zero information
for the whole universe is impossible.
 Some one HELP!
