Personally, I think that Shock Level 5 could be seen as emotionally dangerous for a human to take seriously, so beware.

Oh yes. I have already used Many Worlds Interpretation as a rationalization for not signing up for Cryonics. Arguing quantum immortality, in fact. But an uneasy sense of completely going crazy pointed out the fact that quantum suicide wouldn't be a good idea anyway, for my relative would be very sad in the universes where I don't exist.

Phew. I'm not (too) crazy. Yet.
