This leads me to think that you don’t actually understand what MWI implies for personal identity. There are no “zombie” lines of events; you will be every one of them, and every one of them will remember having been you. If that sounds absurd to you, then you don’t actually understand what MWI really means, and you should rectify that first.
I think SforSingularity understands it just fine. He’s asking why we have certain intuitions, not claiming that those intuitions are true. See this comment where he says that the intuitions are probably wrong and gave his own explanation for why we have them anyway.
