Not all worlds in which you continue to exist are pleasant ones. I think Michael Vassar once called quantum immortality the most horrifying hypothesis he had ever taken seriously, or something along those lines.
Indeed. In particular, "dying of old age" is pretty damn horrifying if you think quantum immortality holds.
If there's quantum immortality, what proportion of your lives would be likely to be acutely painful?
I don't have an intuition on that one. It seems as though worlds in which something causes good health would predominate over just barely hanging on, but I'm unsure of this.
Hunh. I'm glad I'm not the only person who has always found quantum immortality far more horrifying than nonexistence.
