Ultimately the MWI is saying “believe the math - configuration space is physical reality”. So you are on solid ground when you give arguments that are mathematical, however the metaphysical stuff about the self is basically talking past the MWI, which specifically does not acknowledge that as valid form of argument. I also agree with the post above that arguments about “branch counting” are bunk because you cannot count in a continuous space (see: banach-tarski and related paradoxes).
- lisper 4y agoNo, the MWI says to believe half of the math and to ignore the other half. The problem with that is that the second half is what allows the first half to make experimental predictions. Without the second half, there is no reason to believe the first half.
