All these comments and no one questions MWI? Is there another thread for that?
What does MWI explain that can’t be explained without it? Name even a gedanken experiment that gives a different result in an MWI universe than it does in a universe with either
1) randomly determined but truly collapsed uniquely quantum collapses
2) quantum collapses determined uniquely by a force or method we do not yet know about.
Having said all that, Sly has plenty of reason to dislike me, even to want me arrested for attempted murder even without MWI. A world in which Sly is arrested and stopped of his odd gambling with other people’s lives habit, I and other people I value have a higher probabiliy of surviving in my subjective timeline. I know that people who do something tend to do that in the future with much higher probability than do people who don’t do that. This inference has been bred in to me because it was true enough to aid the survival, especially in our socially competitve groups, of my ancestors, so it makes good sense to go with this idea.

See the sequences, specifically the quantum physics sequence. I found it by clicking the “Sequences” link in the upper right of the page, then reading the table of contents, and clicking through.
