A good one. Note that David Lewis has evolved on his critics of its erzatz world. Eventually he took those world seriously. I thionk he got the idea that universal machine cannot really distinguish erzats world and "real" worlds. > Later, in 2006, I was > interested in the philosophy of quantum physics and became a supporter > of the Everett interpretation.
