Are you aware of the concept of quantum immortality? I find it intriguing.
I've read about it, but don't have any good answers. My instinct is that the problem comes in our understanding of "how to translate physical reality to the subjective experience of being a conscious brain in that reality" not in our understanding of the underlying physical reality, but I'm not sure.
Eg. I think I've seen similar thought experiments that could happen in a purely classical world, which if true says this is a philosophical problem we need to understand, but QM just makes more common, isn't conceptually related to. But I'm not sure.
