What are you talking about? Since no neurons have had time
to fire, then for a while in the duplication chamber there
are 1000 identical copies.

As I said before, none of them is yet observing anything. At time
zero there is one person in the chamber. That person is you. Then
at some small time later there are 1000. You claim that you who
will enter the chamber tomorrow will continue to survive in only
*one* of those 1000. The rest won't be you. Why not? What is
different about them?
