Not all universes are created equally. You can't just assign sort of an equal amount of ump or weight to every branch of the everedian multi verse. Not everything happens, things happen that have some non zero amplitude in the wave function of the universe. Both universes are real, but one is overwhelmingly bigger and more important than the other ones.
Welcome to the September 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
