Quantum anesthesia. If the premise in QI is that you can’t branch out into a non-conscious state, then anesthesia would be impossible as well. And mind you: anesthesia is not sleep, where consciousness is simply diminished. Anesthesia is total anihilation of consciousness (when properly given at least). Those of us who have had surgery know this: you don’t feel any passage of time during anesthesia. When you wake up, after several hours, you feel like you had just been put under a second ago.
1b) Quantum temporary-death. Coming out of temporary unconscious states like temporary death (where your heart can stop beating (and you remain unconscious) for up to several hours) would be impossible, since you would also branch out into states of consciousness before any unconsciousness would settle in.
Entropy. Dodging death infinitely is impossible. There might be branches where you die and others where you survive, but even then, on the ones where you survive, your body is still decaying. To keep decaying forever and never die would simply contradict biology. After a certain threshold of damage, death is inevitable. But would this prolong itself for thousands of years of agony? No. It would occur under normal timelines. Maybe, say, if you get headshot, you die instantly in branch A and survive damaged on branch B, but it doesn’t mean that you’re not on your way to death on branch B if the damage is severe enough. If it isn’t, you go to the hospital and make a recovery. In short: to keep suffering forever for eternity simply contradicts biology—no one can live forever, and damage will always lead to death (sooner or later, BUT on a normal biological timescale related to the different degrees of damage in each branch).
Maybe MWI is just bs, lol.
I think in short QI is Zeno’s Paradox. Ancient Greek philosopher Zeno concluded that for each distance between A and B, you first have to reach halfway between A and B before getting to B. Therefore, you can never reach B, since you always have to reach the halfway point first, and there is always a halfway point, no matter how small the distance. This led Zeno into concluding that movement is impossible. In reality, we know that it isn’t, you eventually will reach B, and in a normal timescale.
Even if MWI is true, you eventually will die (in normal timescales), just as you will eventually reach point B (in normal timescales).
