We've had essentially the poll/discussion several times
phijkchu is split along the "I do not trust myself, so my clone will murder me so i will murder him first" and "I know myself, I would not attempt to kill/replace myself so a clone is a non issue, I will not try to murder him" lines
Spooky pleads the 5th on anything clone related at this point
I've learned

i do not trust myself, so definitely would not trust my clone. me likely accepting the clone the clone adds to my distrust of myself. the clone may kill me, oh well
If my clone kills me, it probably had a good reason to do it and I'm ok with it
I mean, idk if the exact reason even really matters, my clone is alive in the end so it's a win for me either way
me and my clone would defacto consider eachother to be different people
What is the option to commit a bunch of horrible crimes then kill youself, fucking over your clone
It would be funny
its for the bit
I voted for twice as efficient, but the real answer is we would both individually be just as efficient
Me playing a video game or watching an anime or doing math would not be satisfying for the clone, who would also want to do those things
My clone would not do that
even if he awknowledged he is a clone, that is an irrelevant factor. He would view himself as a real person, entirely distinct from me
why would he throw away his life
Yeah if we are talking shared conciousness or at least updatable shared conciousness
then I think you can actually work more than 2x as efficient
due to synergistic effects
Replying to heir #hyrrulfr unless you somehow share the same experiences and learn the same things, wouldn't having your clone do half of your work be half as efficient as just doing everything yourself?
Nah, take turns doing dishes and laundry and going to work. Maybe a quick discussion on what you did at work and that's about it

Yeah I thought about that but like it's probably fine. We would just invent a way to quickly exchange memories first

Would you put up a decent fight
Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 Nah, take turns doing dishes and laundry and going to work. Maybe a quick discussion on what you did at work and that's about it
You have invented a roommate
congrats
Replying to Polar_ #polar_ Would you put up a decent fight
No, there's no incentive to injure my clone
It's me
If one of us has to die for the other, I have no preference which survives, but we would both want to minimize injury to the surviving me
Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 Pika, we should be roommates
I do not want to be roommates with someone where I might end up as their 3rd gayest story someday

>immediately clone cucked
Cmon man, I expected better of you
It's a clone, it's me
To answer your initial question, if I'm being randomly attacked instinct is to obviously defend myself
But if for whatever reason either me or my clone need to die to further our mutual interests, both of us would have no preference which survived
