It's odd that the QM sequence is so little commented-on and voted-on, which suggests it's little-read. Which is particularly strange in that so much of EY's philosophy appears to build directly on his interpretation of QM. Does anyone have ideas on why? Are people just reading the headlines and going along with what they seem to say, and not reading the posts themselves and particularly not their comments?

A technical subject. The gist seemed to be: Rah, MWI.

I've thought the MWI was correct since way back in the 1980s - after reading this - and so didn't feel an urgent need to be lectured on its virtues.
