It all breaks down if my consciousness is divisible. If I can lose a little conscious awareness at a time until nothing is left, then Quantum Immortality doesn’t seem to work...I would expect to find myself in a world where my conscious awareness (whatever that is) is increasing.
I wish I could quantify how consciously aware I am.
Yes, that is an interesting point, and one I’ve been thinking about myself. It kind of seems to me that a diminishing of consciousness over time is somewhat inevitable, but it can be a long process. But I don’t know where that leads us. Does QI mean that we should all expect to get Alzheimer’s, eventually? Or end up in a minimally conscious state? What is that like? Is this process of diminishing reversible?
Makes sense.
