OP is assuming selfishness, which makes this True. Any PD is TPD for a selfish person. Is it still the obvious thing to do if you’re selfish?
Yes, for a copy close enough that he will do everything that I will do and nothing that I won’t. In simple resource-gain scenarios like the OP’s, I’m selfish relative to my value system, not relative to my locus of consciousness.
So we have different models of selfishness, then. My model doesn’t care about anything but “me”, which doesn’t include clones.
