QM, incidentally, even in MWI, is nondeterministic in the sense that you don't know which of the outcomes you personally will experience.

This is broken because

which of the outcomes you personally will experience

is incoherent in the context of MWI. There is a "you" now, on this side of the event. There will be many people labeled "you", on the other side. There is no one person on the other side that corresponds to "you personally" while the event is something you can say "will" about - at that point, it's "did".

Congratulations! You have constructed an interpretation of what I said that doesn't make sense.

Why don't you go back and try doing it the other way?

Which other way?
