This is the real deal folks. Imagine all the alternate you's out there... Somewhere I'm a billionaire, and somewhere else I probably didn't even wake up today. Free will's a trip, man.

Isn't this just mental gymnastics? I mean, it's a cool concept for a book or movie, but in real life? Sounds like a bit much. Besides, how would you even test this idea scientifically?

so we're just one big cosmic choose-your-own-adventure book but in this version, you get to flip to all the pages at once 🤔

This sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. If it's true, there's a universe where I'm actually a successful astronaut instead of just dreaming about it here. Kinda depressing to think about, tbh.

There's a lot to unpack here. Yes, the many-worlds interpretation is fascinating, but it's still theoretical. The existence of parallel universes isn't something we can currently prove or disprove. It doesn't necessarily negate the concept of free will, though. Even if every choice leads to a different universe, you're still making a choice in this one, and that's what counts for you as an individual. What happens in another universe is irrelevant to your experience.

lol if I have a universe for each time I decided not to play another game and go to sleep that's like an infinite number of universes where I'm not sleep deprived 😂

This really begs the question of determinism vs free will. If every possibility occurs, it seems like we're not choosing at all. Our 'choices' are just an illusion because they happen anyway in some alternate reality. That kind of universe sounds predestined, scripted out already...

Whoa, you just blew my mind with that take! But think about it, if every choice we don't make spawns a new universe, just imagine the cosmic scale of that! Our daily decisions like, what to eat, or which sock to put on first could lead to infinite universes. It's hard to grasp but super cool to think about!
