So you are saying there is a version of me that is king of the universe in some timeline?

If the universe is infinite then there is a possibility that you are a king of an observable universe somewhere.

Infinite does not mean that all the permutations are possible. You being you and you becoming a king might simply not be a combination which is compatible.

  You vastly misunderestimate infinity if you don’t recognize that anything feasible will happen.

    Depends on how you define feasible. Take Wolfram's 1-dimensional cellular automata... some of them have infinite complexity, and of course you can "run" them for infinite time, and the "current" state is constantly expanding (like the Universe). So let's define "something feasible" as some specific finite bit pattern on the 1-dimensional line of an arbitrary current state. Is that "feasible" bit pattern guaranteed to appear anywhere in the automaton's present or future? I believe, and if I understand correctly, so does Wolfram, that for any reasonably complex "feasible pattern" the answer is no; even though the automaton produces infinitely many states, it is not guaranteed to explore all conceivable states. In other words, in a given Universe (which has a specific set of rules that govern its evolution in time) even though there are infinitely many possible states, not all conceivable states are a possible result of that evolution.

      If you exist, you are one of the feasible states.

    There are infinite numbers between 3 and 4, yet none of them is number 7.

      7 isn’t feasible…

  Great way to let someone down who asks you out. There are no branches in the Ruliad in which you and I end up together. I have foreseen it.

    The best is to "zone out" and do micro eye movements for a 10 seconds and then say that.

In a skin enclosed universe you are already King Meatbag, ruler over your mind and body.

  My body disagrees.
