Note that the QM sequence is the sequence which by far has the most subject matter experts who would disagree.

I suspect it may be helpful when discussing this to split the QM sequence into the direct QM part, and the "timeless physics" part at the end. The latter seems to have generated a lot more disagreement than the former.

Many Worlds was discussed in the direct QM part, was it not? People whine about that all the time.

The comments section shows quite a lot of disagreement and "Eliezer, you can't actually do what you just did" along the way.
