So he explicitly says the fully deterministic theory (fully
deterministic from the God's eye, third person view) leads to
probabilistic (random/unpredictable) outcomes from the subjective
observer's first person view. Even an observer who had complete
knowledge of the deterministic wave function and could predict its
entire evolution could not predict their next experience.
Technically they can. They can correctly predict that they will
have all the available experiences.
That's the third person view. The view of the wavefunction's
evolution. That is completely predictible.
Whether or not you will measure the electron to be spin up or spin
down you can't predict in advance. That is because you experience
both but neither experiences it as being both spin up and spin down.
I don't see how that's different from what I said - "afterwards,
they will feel that they've experienced a probablistic event."
I agree with the text above. The part I was contesting was where you
said that one can predict their next subjective experience.
When you say that one could answer they will experience all
perspectives, then you are no longer speaking of a subjective
experience.
