I wholeheartedly and unironically endorse this

edit:

A technique for magically sending your consciousness between quantum worldlines:

Something bad has happened! Close your eyes with the intent to jump to an alternate worldline where that thing didn't happen, with the understanding that if you succeed, you won't have any memory of that thing happening. Open your eyes. It worked! Whatever bad thing you were trying to avoid has no longer happened in your current worldline, and you have no memory of it ever having occurred.

Assume that anything that went wrong in the worldline in which you find yourself is probably not as bad as the thing you were trying to escape from.

Sound's like so8res's concept of "Being a new homonculus."
