Occam razor definitely sides with the MW, and even more with the many-epistemic worlds/histories implied by the mechanist hypothesis. Compare: Copenhague: Unintelligible dualist theory of mind + the wave Everett: Mechanist theory of mind + the wave Mechanism (well-understood!): mechanist theory of mind. Mechanism win, by Occam razor, as it uses a simple natural assumption, already used by Darwin, and just pushed it at its extreme logical consequence.
