If there is a 99 % chance of a good world and a one% chance of a bad world, aren't there just two worlds, 50 per cent of which are bad? You say the worlds don't count equally, but why not, and in what sense? Ah, itis a perfectly good question. As you say, versions of it have been asked many times. I predict that i can articulate it very well, and it will not stop people from asking the questions. This is an issue that arises in the many world's interpretation that just doesn't arise in other theories. And therefore, you know, it's ok to struggle with understanding what is going on here.
Welcome to the May 2022 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!
