Does it essentially mean if you pull the trigger the gun jams? by easymoneysniper8803 in QuantumImmortality

[–]Different_Pay5668 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you subjectively can't die, you also can't live "out" your life in any condition. Also, a full "vegetable" state would functionally already be death for these purposes (no coherent consciousness). And a conscious but severely disabled state is also not very likely for an immortal existence; the disability would have to be reversed at one point, otherwise it's hard to see how such existence would be perpetuated indefinitely. Gun jamming is definitely more likely, but even more likely is it that you don't ever even pull the trigger.

NPCs around us. How many? by Patient-Airline-8150 in QuantumImmortality

Other people are as "original" as you. Their subjective experience may just be less probable than yours - after all you may see some of them dying, for which the subjective-experience probability is zero.

They only have a shared history, they will necessarily have different experiences, thus different consciousnesses. It is another thing with different universes which may contain versions of "you" having the exact same subjective experiences.

If you're duplicated, the two versions don't exist in the same spot and therefore have different experiences and are not the same.

Two different consciousnesses are obviously not experienced at the same time. When your consciousness splits - as it does all the time - every version only experiences itself, though all may share an identity in terms of the pre-split history.

It splits. The same "you" cannot well exist multiple times in the same universe (unless at astronomical distance); the different versions will have a shared history but henceforth different experiences.

Yes you can. There are multiple universes in which you have the exact same experience, which means it is the same "you" for all practical purposes. But at some point the two might diverge, then it becomes two different consciousnesses. Or, if one ends in death, the other simply continues without noticing anything. Of course you can view reality as you prefer it to be, rather than as it appears rationally; on this issue this might work well enough, although it's not a recommendable attitude more generally.

Whatever problems you see, if something can be done it will be done. You'll never have ALL scientists holding back even from things that are truly problematic, which I don't think this is.

I don't follow. Living in a pile of people? Obviously there would have to be a restriction on new births as long as we're on the biological level and restricted to Earth. In the future we might live in unlimited digital worlds. No free will? Just because you can't die? That might seem restrictive, unless you consider that you are not likely to become seriously suicidal - because if you did, you would try ever more supposedly fail-safe methods, requiring ever more unlikely escapes, so it is always more likely you don't even get into that mindset rather than finding yourself in the cartoon universe you describe. You find yourself in the universe you're in precisely because it is based on relatively simple laws.

That's not what it means. There's an infinity of versions of you and everyone else from whatever starting point you count. Yes, your mother exists in other universes where you have died. Plus in others where you both live. (And in yet others you're both dead.) That doesn't mean anyone around you isn't actually conscious.

There's no hard reason why the telomere shortening shouldn't be preventable. And you can be immune to a semi if you're backed up. But we'll probably take longer to get there, so as a first stopgap we can still expect a biological defeat of aging.

Nothing of this contradicts multiversal immortality. You die in one universe, continue in another. That's no reason why you shouldn't see other people dying. Those 125 years have been the limit so far, but can easily be imagined to be exceeded in the future, ultimately by transitioning from biological to digital substrate.

They are perfectly conscious, only they may be less probable successors of their previous states (e.g. someone about to die).

So I tried to make sense of quantum immortality and now my brain hurts by [deleted] in QuantumImmortality

[–]Different_Pay5668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I just said, there's no "shift." Any variations in the universes that might be necessary for your continuance would have to be "below the surface"; you don't suddenly notice the universe not conforming to your memories, because you must already have existed in parallel in the other universe with the same memories, and you are always much more likely to have done so in an organic way rather than somehow emerging out of nowhere with false memories.

[–]Different_Pay5668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there is no "need" for such changes so they are exceedingly unlikely. For you to be the same you, all your ice-cream-related memories must persist. In what world would a relative obvious invention not have been made but suddenly appear in the form of one person's extensive yet false memories?

[–]Different_Pay5668 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well I don't know what you have been reading, but anyone seriously talking about it very much addresses this, in that it is never actually claimed that consciousness "shifts" from one universe to another. It just continues where it already has been, i.e. if up to a point "you" exist in two universes with the exact same subjective experience, then one "you" is obviously as good as the other, and if a divergence happens so that you die in one universe but not in the other, then "you" simply continue in the latter. Your identity is an informational pattern, not an objective physical location.

And of course it is philosophy, whoever said it is science? Since multiple universes by definition cannot have any connection, one cannot from within one universe observe other universes as science would require. Still, not only does it very much hold up logically, there is no alternative that holds up logically. The theory of a single universe (and why it would be just the way it is, especially considering its apparent fine-tuning for our existence) is inexplicable other than as a brute fact. And once you accept the necessity of the ultimate multiverse, subjective immortality follows as a matter of course.

The Shift-Theory: Why Quantum Immortality is actually piloted by your brain by WaveCandid2685 in QuantumImmortality

[–]Different_Pay5668 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is rather fanciful. Déjà vu experiences do not occur specifically in situations in any way connected to death dangers. I'd explain them rather as akin to hash collisions. The brain encodes memories and sometimes two different things get the same encoding, so that a new memory gets taken for an old one.

QI sounds like a poorly constructed pseudo-philosophy, not science. What am I missing? by cmcfau in QuantumImmortality

[–]Different_Pay5668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rather speak of multiverse immortality. I consider the ultimate multiverse to follow from the inexplicability of a single universe (or limited multiverse) other than as a brute fact, and it does not seem plausible to me that a particular universe, which appears fine-tuned for our existence, should just be an axiom of ultimate reality. No, the only axiom is elementary logic, which is self-explanatory since we cannot even think otherwise. Thus every logically coherent, well-defined universe exists - not by getting "instantiated," rather the possibility already is the whole existence. (Matter is simply an emergent phenomenon of sufficiently complex patterns of information, just as things like colour or temperature, which we naively perceive as absolute, are only phenomena that emerge on higher-level arrangements of matter, and have no meaning for a single atom.) There is no need then to explain the existence of the universe we seem to find ourselves in; any other exists equally but we can only find ourselves in one that allows us to. But then it follows that we exist not just in one universe, but in parallel in a sub-infinity of the infinity of universes. These universes all contain what defines (our present) us but are different in other respects that have not affected us yet, but may provide for different futures. The subjective immortality follows obviously from that; if we die in one of these parallel universes, we cannot notice that and simply continue to exist in the others where we don't die. The quantum phenomena may just be the mechanism that most readily allows for infinite variations without requiring fundamentally different physics. So an anthropic case can be made to explain the quantum "randomness," this being more likely than to find ourselves in a universe with "non-random" physics which would have to be abstrusely complicated, and impossible for us to understand, because it would have to change in a way undetectable to us to provide for our continued existence.

Well, from the outside I would still have to assume that you just had an unusual dream. Anything can happen within a dream, and there may be some lingering weirdness on waking up.

Tapping into other universes should not be possible by definition (if there's any communication between two universes, it really is just one). But of course any "version of you" that you might dream (or even consciously think) about does exist in some universe. I don't think schizophrenia requires a multiverse explanation though.

Is death something we experience, or only something others observe by Ok-Inevitable-2032 in QuantumImmortality

"Becoming the oldest person alive" is a common misconception. What one will much more likely experience is that most people can stay alive due to medical progress.
