Quick thoughts as I finish my coffee while the dog waits impatiently for our morning walk:
1. The acceptance letters in envelopes analogy doesn't work for me because the letters have been written. Their state isn't indeterminate. She could not to open the envelopes and choose a campus to show up at in the fall. Whether she's welcomed or not will reveal what the content of the letter from that university was. (I don't believe there are parallel universes where the admission decisions were different.)
2. Eventually, one morning I will not wake up. Fair question how that plays out for me. (Sunday services begin at 10:00. I'll be there.)
Heh, seeing as how I'm in the midst of a series of posts about why I think the MWI can't be the reality, I doubt you can convert me to Everettianism, but I would be interested in your lecture. I do have a lot of questions about exactly how the MWI supposedly works. (I bookmarked your Waterloo video for viewing later.)
I have read the Nature of Contingency by Alastair Wilson who speaks about Multiverses and the Everett model , it’s certainly challenging
