As I said, I call myself gts-1 of universe-1 of the (possible) MWI
multiverse.

If they exist then each of them exists in a slightly different universe
from this one. I know only that I am the gts writing this message, in
this universe which I have labeled universe-1. Those others share my
*nominal* identity (name, birthdate, etc) but they do not share my
*non-nominal* identity (body and personality).

I appreciate your desire to be identified with other Rafals in other MWI
universes, and many of those other Rafals are probably fine people,
people with whom you would and should be proud to be associated with.
Consider however that some of those other Rafals are undoubtedly so
despicable that you would not even care to be in the same room with
them, much less share their identity. Do you really think you are them?
