Great question—you absolutely need to take that into account! You can only bargain with people who you expect to uphold the bargain. This probably means that when you’re bargaining, you should weight “you in other worlds” in proportion to how likely they are to uphold the bargain. This seems really hard to think about and probably ties in with a bunch of complicated questions around decision theory.
