Hmm, speaking as someone who sort of buys into the cryonics part but doesn’t buy into the rest of what you label as the “LW consensus” I think for all of these issues the consensus level to them here is probably overestimated. Note that the QM sequence is the sequence which by far has the most subject matter experts who would disagree.
As for the button, I’m not sure if I’d push it or not, I suspect no. But that may indicate irrationality on my part more than any coherent notion of what constitutes “me”.

I suspect it may be helpful when discussing this to split the QM sequence into the direct QM part, and the “timeless physics” part at the end. The latter seems to have generated a lot more disagreement than the former.

Many Worlds was discussed in the direct QM part, was it not? People whine about that all the time.

The comments section shows quite a lot of disagreement and “Eliezer, you can’t actually do what you just did” along the way.
