As someone who's read a lot of work on the philosophy of quantum mechanics, I want to say that this piece is VERY well written. (And I wasn't the person who posted it to HN.)
- lisper 7y agoThank you! (I'm the author and the poster.)
- je_bailey 7y agoMy apologies if I get this wrong. Is this stating that the many possibilities are all coexisting and that our brain is acting as a filter to provide a view of possibilities that we define as ourselves?
- lisper 7y agoThat depends on what you mean by "this". If by "this" you mean MWI (the Multiple Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics) then: > Is this stating that the many possibilities are all coexisting Yes. > and that our brain is acting as a filter to provide a view of possibilities that we define as ourselves? No, your brain is not "acting as a filter". There are multiple "your brains" all "coexisting" in multiple universes (which MWI-ers call "the multiverse"), none of which can ever communicate with each other.
