Each and every time they've been dragged back.
You may not be interested in the Middle East, but the Middle East is interested in you.
Expected utility theory tries to compute the future psychological consequences of the actions of your clones in parallel universes.
Ergodicity economics tries to compute the future physical consequences of the actions of your younger self.
