“If this is true, then a caring universe would make itself look like a materialist universe, just in order to be better, since a caring universe would want to do the better thing.”
aah. I was thinking of a “limitedly caring” universe, for example one where magic works. Perhaps I should think of a better word than caring… I’m want to say something like “a universe where the underlying laws take human desires into account in a direct way, but without the universe necessarily being smart enough to work out what is ultimately best for us”. For example, a universe where you can cause a flying unicorn to appear just by thinking about it, even if it is not in your ultimate best interest to do so.
