Hi, Sheldon. Eliezer has previously defended many worlds at length. Also, Less Wrong uses Markdown syntax: enclose text in *asterisks* to get italics.
Fine, but the notion that “many worlds” is the “simplest” explanation for anything seems absurd. “Many worlds” is the most extravagant and the least simple explanation that could ever be conceived.
Quite the opposite, under the technical definition of simplicity in the context of Occam’s Razor.
