I was examining some of the arguments for the existence of god that separate beings into contingent (exist in some worlds but not all) and necessary (exist in all worlds). And it occurred to me that if the multiverse is indeed true, and its branches are all possible worlds, then we are all necessary beings, along with the multiverse, a part of whose structure we are.
Am I retreating into madness? :D
taking this too seriously eh,, but note it's impossible for us to exist in All branches
I'm not saying we exist in all branches, just that all branches are necessary, and therefore we are necessary also. Essentially I'm saying that everything that is actual is necessary.
