Could you explain it a bit more to me because I am still in disagreement with this, even when assuming RSSA ... Once every future branch involves your death; you will loose conscioussness, IMO. If you do not eat for 100 or 1000 years, you can still continue living according to you ? > > > Also I personally do not believe ASSA favours a MWI interpretation of > > quantum mechanics over a deterministic one because a "single MWI > > universe" will be less probable than a "single deterministic universe". > > But it might favour MWI over Copenhagen interpretation. > > I personnaly believe ASSA is broken... because for one thing it cannot explain > stream of consciousness, arrow of time and so on...
