Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't kill myself so that I'll go to the universe where I survive and maybe then people will care about me.
>implying your consciousness would go into another dimension
that doesn't even make sense, what happens to your consciousness from that dimension?
Death is a macro-scale rather than quantum event though

That's not how it works Anon.
You don't go anywhere. Other you goes somewhere. Ending it just hurts the people that care about you even a little bit.
Isn't it sad that we would be grieved in death far more than we are loved when we're alive.

>we may assert that, under the many-worlds interpretation, the experimenter continues to exist through all of their superpositions where the outcome of the experiment is that they live.
that doesn't make sense though. if the experimenter dies, the wavefunction collapses and the superposition ceases to be. there's no possible "alive" resolution of the superposition if the resolution ends up with him dead. am i misunderstanding this? why are they assuming the alive superposition consciousness continues to "exist"?
also what this guy said >>35135167. you can't just apply quantum phenomena to any old thing. they only apply to quantum particles (hence the name).
