I responded privately earlier… I really don’t quite know why I still bother posting here. Also btw, there’s other thing: I posted several things that werequite seriously wrong, in the sense of wrong chain of reasoning (not outcome). Those were upvoted and agreed with a fair lot.
Also, on the MWI, I am a believer that as far as we know there can be many worlds out there, and even if quantum mechanics is wrong it is fairly natural for mathematics to work out to many worlds, and it is not like believing in the apple cake in the asteroid belt. I do not dislike the conclusion. I dislike the argument. Ditto for Solomonoff induction and theism, I am an atheist. I tend to be particularly negative towards the arguments that incorrectly argue in favour of what I believe, on the few times that I notice the incorrectness (obviously that got to be much less common than seeing incorrectness in the arguments in favour of what I don’t believe).
