The Born probability explanation sounds a lot like Scott Aaronson’s explanation for why the moon is round: because if it weren’t, we would not be ourselves, but rather entities exactly like ourselves except that they live in a universe with a square moon.
I don’t know whether that’s an argument against that explanation, or whether this is one of those cases where the reductio ad absurdum turns out to be true.
Thanks for this.
