Really. I did not known that. Could you give the references. That would be an indice that Mechanism is false, given that quantum immortality is deduce here from the already much more obvious arithmetical immortality, which is disturbing, but hard to avoid. Are you saying that quantum suicide is also a non-sense (metaphysically, it is a practical non-sense). If the reference assume a wave packet reduction, or a way “matter” can interfere with the computations in arithmetic, no need to give the references. It is just working in different theories.
