irrelevant to decision-making. The idea that out of the [finite number so large that it’s probably hard to express even with Knuth’s up-arrow notation] possible future me’s there’s likely some which live an insanely long time or [reach any other state] isn’t useful.
MWI may be useful to physicists and mathematicians but it’s not the kind of relevant that means anything to normal decision making. Unless your job is programming a quantum computer it’s totally irrelevant to your life.
You do not get to good results by saying “well one of the future me’s will do fine in the MW’s”
It implies that there is a future you for whom by random chance all genetic degradation will fail to happen and that random motion of molecules will replenish all his Telomeres at once halting aging while around him by pure chance gasses happen to separate into lower entropy states etc.
Though lets not forget the future you who’s cell walls all suddenly burst by chance at the same time.
But that’s not useful to you. Banking on one or the other or using it as a reason to not worrying about something doesn’t help you.
