Thanks for the link ;).
OK, on the one hand we have many-worlds. As you say, no direct subjective corroborating evidence (it’s what we’d see either way). What’s more, it’s the simplest explanation of what we see around us.
On the other hand, we have one-world. Again, ‘it’s what we’d see either way’. However, we now have to postulate an extra mechanism that causes the ‘collapse’.
I know which of these feels more like a privileged complex hypothesis pulled out of thin air, like a dragon.
Could whomever downvoted me above let me know where I’m going wrong here?
How is postulating entire worlds simpler than collapse?
Voted this down, then changed my mind and undid it. This is a genuine question, the answer to which was graciously accepted. Downvoting people who need guidance to understand a concept and are ready to learn is exactly what we don't want to do.
