gollark: Destroying the original universe *does* at least fix issues with the drive causing people to cease to exist.
gollark: I think many worlds holds that that's happening constantly anyway, but use of the drive does it more.
gollark: I'm not sure exactly what I was thinking of at the time, but assuming you accept the alternate branches as "existing" in some way then creating new ones is ethically fraught, since you're basically duplicating all morally relevant entities ever.
gollark: A better version would destroy the original universe, to fix some of the ethical issues.
gollark: I guess there's a universe in which the drives have always worked perfectly, one where it's always just unexisted the users, and a bunch of intermediate ones.
