I haven’t yet devised a way to express my appreciation of the orderliness of the universe, which doesn’t involve counting people in orderly states as compared to disorderly states.
What do you mean by that?
Frankly, I’m not sure what it is that you’re complaining about. Even in ordinary life humans have number ambiguity: if you split the connection between the halves of the brain, you get what seems to be two minds, but why should this be some great problem?
But unfortunately there’s that whole thing with the squared modulus of the complex amplitude giving the apparent “probability” of “finding ourselves in a particular blob”.
I hope you will at least acknowledge the existence of the point of view of Wallace/Saunders/Deutsch that the Born rule can be derived from quantum mechanics without it plus only very reasonable outside assumptions, if you won’t agree with it.
