Friday Poll #050 - Hypothetical I
Suppose you have a magic coin. The coin is perfectly fair. If you flip the coin, and it comes up heads, you become immortal, incredibly wealthy, and have equally immortal servants whose appearance is however you desire and have full knowledge of you. If it comes up tails, an exact copy of you is created, who believes the coin came up heads, they get everything you would have gotten if it came up heads, and you are transformed into one of their servants. The question is, do you flip the coin?

I sense some sort of satanic allegory to this. That or buddhist or some weird mix of both.
..What mirror universe?

Tough one.
Win if it comes up heads. I don't know what I would do with 'servants'. So I like to believe I would be a fair boss. But they would have my life. That means I lose my friends and family. The ones I would want to share that wealth with. Now I want to say yes. But I would not be the servant long. As I would go and shoot myself. But everyone I care about would be taken care of.
Very tough call.

Seems trivially win-win.
