So you admit that the observer moment is to be experienced, precisely what I said about the "I." Are you saying that the first step in understanding the world is subjective? If you do, then we agree: "I think" = observer-moment = subjective experience. Brent says: > >> The question is, "Can observers exist in a wabbity world?". If the world was wabbity then some elements of the world would exist with absolutely no reason at all. Furthermore the world would be irrational and inconsistent. Inconsistency of the world would make the drive for completeness irrelevent. There could be a wall around the world with absolutely no justification for this wall (back to the Middle Ages before Copernicus). My earlier post deriving the existence of the Plenitude using the rationality of the world as a starting point would be irrelevent and therefore irrationality would preclude the need for the Plenitude. The Copenhagen school would actually advocate the simplest approach to QM. Observers brains would be governed by wabbity physical processes and would therefore be partially or totally incoherent. All you MWI groupies would be nuts (which actually may be the case already for some of you) and would better disband. George
