As far as I can tell (low votes, some in the negative, few comments), the QM sequence is the least read of the sequences, and yet makes a lot of EY's key points used later on identity and decision theory. So most LW readers seem not to have read it.
Suggestion: a straw poll on who's read which sequences.
I've seen enough of the QM sequence and know enough QM to see that Eliezer stopped learning quantum mechanics before getting to density matrices. As a result, the conclusions he draws from QM rely on metaphysical assumptions and seem rather arbitrary if one knows more quantum mechanics. In the comments to this post Scott Aaronson tries to explain this to Eliezer without much success.
Could you be specific about which conclusions seem arbitrarily based on which metaphysical assumptions?
I just answered a similar question in another thread here.
Note: please reply there so we can consolidate discussions.
