@anthonyhf@Sam_kuyp We never communicated with dinosaurs but we believe they existed. We have evidence that suggests they existed, but we also have evidence that suggests other timelines exist.
@CounterApologis All you're referring to is decoherence - that doesn't solve the measurement problem. Each superposition can decohere, but why do we only experience one and not the others, and where do the others go?
@Inframethod How do we know we've "correctly sorted" consciousness? I disagree entirely. Anybody who has thought about it deeply has to concede they can never know with any certainty whether anyone or anything else is phenomenally conscious.
@CounterApologis How do you know that without consciously observing the results. You should read about the Wigner's friend thought experiment, and the more recent extended wigners friend experiments.
@mikeamark@YouTube Everett is the null hypothesis, it takes the schrodinger equation at face value - so it predicts that any attempts to prove that the wave function is purely epistemic will fail.
@mikeamark Well, that is kind of the basis of my complexity homeostasis theory of consciousness. There's certainly some good reasons to believe it's the case, but still a lot of unanswered questions as to why.
