gollark: What's "quantum-death"?
gollark: If you exist and perceive things, you clearly aren't dead, so you only observe worlds where things somehow resulted in you not being dead.
gollark: The fact that you exist means that (assuming there are in fact multiple universes in some way, via MWI or whatever) some universes are more likely (for you) than others.
gollark: It's annoying to explain, so hold on.
gollark: The basic idea is that you can never actually perceive a world where you don't exist.
