Added: I do think Bohr was wrong and Everett (MWI) was right.
So think of it this way—you can only experience worlds in which you survive. Even if Yudkowsky is correct and in 99% of all worlds AGI has killed us all by 20 years from now, you will experience only the 1% of worlds in which that doesn’t happen.
And in many of those worlds, you’ll be wanting something to live on in your retirement.

I’ve thought on this additional axiom, and it seems to bend the reality too much, leading to possible [unpleasant outcomes](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/4ARaTpNX62uaL86j6/the-hidden-complexity-of-wishes): for example, where a person survives but is tortured indefinitely long.
Also, it’s unclear how could this axiom manage to preserve ratios of probabilities for quantum states.
