- TL;DR Summary
- An issue especially for those of you who prefer MWI and are convinced of your own free will.
I am in my self-driving car and approaching an intersection, where I can either drive to the right or left.
I choose to drive to the right.
There are two buttons on the instrument panel, R (ight) and L (eft).
I press R, and a QM random number generator is activated. My car drives to the right with 99% probability. (The RNG is biased, 99/1% instead of 50/50).
A QM measurement was made and a new universe was created, regardless of whether I pressed the R or L button.
The L-button leads to an identical RNG, but with 99/1% L-bias.
If I drive both right and left, then my free will has been lost, right?
As I can understand, MWI and the concept of free will are mutually exclusive. I can not both eat the cake and keep it.
