Hi Quentin >>That's nonsense,
The point wasn't whether you think its nonsense or not. I couldn't care less about that. we were arguing about whether there are Oxford Dons who adopt the same standpoint as me, and given your little outburst above I think you've just discovered that there are. And that they are publishing these ideas in respected and peer reviewed journals. Just to recap then: It is perfectly respectable to reject the notion of subjective uncertainty without abandoning MWI. Just as I said. >> and contrary to observed fact. I always wince when you throw that one out. How does one break it to the angriest member of a list that they are continually begging the question? >> David Deutsch does not reject probability... Sure he does, he swaps out the Born rule for rational decision theory (+ amendments to make it compatible with MWI). There isn't probability, but we should act 'as if' there was. Its what he's famous for, Quentin. >>or could you please show a quote where he does. Do your own homework, mate. I'm not your little quote monkey. I've kindly described to you what I think people like Deutsch and Wallace argue, I've supplied papers which you've refused to read. if you disagree you need display the same generosity and explain to me what you think they are arguing and how that is different. Waving your hands in the air demanding more and more to unceremoniously and uncritically ditch is no-ones idea of fun. All the best Chris.

Or to put it another way, you (now) will become you (who sees spin up) and you (who sees spin down), which by then will be two different people. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
