Imagine a case of existential risk, in which humanity needs to collectively make a gamble.
We prove that at least one of 16 possible choices guarantees survival, but we don't know which one.
Question: can we acquire a quantum random number that is guaranteed to be independent from anything else?
I.e. such that the whole world is provably guaranteed to enter quantum superposition of all possible outcomes, and we provably survive in 1/16th of the worlds?
Are you assuming a non-MWI universe? Doesn't every source of randomness just imply different branches in proportion to their amplitude?
