I respect what you are saying. The best explanation, would the im= plication that I don't understand MWI and its connection to QM and how this= actually is hard science on anyone's terms.=20 The above is a major possibility simply because my interest in MWI has only= ever been as one of the objects in the Popperian array. And my interest in= *that* has for a long time been very much in terms of understanding how a = way of thinking can be so right at the root yet get so distorted and off th= e rails further down.=20 I've always done this, I hope, with integrity. In that, whenever Deutsch or= anyone has something that I can see possibility in, that I have done the r= ight thing, and gone off and spent time reflecting on it.=20 So I guess I might have to spend some time trying on, what you are saying.= =20 The problem though, one way or the other, is going to be that, if I come ba= ck agreeing or disagreeing, there isn't going to be any way for me to influ= ence your point of view.=20 This is because you have, or you seem to have, adopted Deutsch's philosophy= -based view of Science, which essentially rejects all of the ways that scie= nce has invented for criticizing and weighing between possible explanations= .=20 I respect Deutsch...he says its about cleaning up the thinking. And sure, t= his can be about messy thinking my end. But, the way it looks when I stand = back ten feet, is that with all that messy thinking Deutsch has swept away,= he's thrown out almost every possible way to criticize and make object jud= gements.=20 Now it's just about 'good explanation' and that's just about good philosoph= y, and that's just popper and deutsch, and you criticize it, but guess what= , any criticism you make at any level, is actually pre-refuted by the level= above! Or to the left! And of course, the only way to navigate it all, is by becoming total expert= of the whole thing. And people that don't see the promise of a philosophy,= or have major doubts, typically don't commit years and years to that subje= ct.=20 Therefore, the only people that could criticize, are the same people that t= otally don't have major criticisms. And that is caused by the structure of = the philosophy itself, and in effect it makes it impossible to criticize.=20 So it's the total opposite of what it claims to be, and what it thinks it i= s.

It doesn't.=20 And if Deutsch says different, I would ask him to point to the really major= concessions that he has made in constructing this philosophy. Or is the st= ory that Deutsch got everything right beginning to end?=20 It's just never happened. This has all been on a tiny scale. It's like Deut= sch and 3 or 4 others, all of them likeminded from the start. It just can't= work like that and be consistent with its own philosophy.=20 Don't forget, this philosophy claims to trump Science. This is now science.= Deutsch rejects all the *evolved* ways Science has found to keep the steer= on the right path to objective reality. And in their place he has put a co= nception of criticism that has never actually been applied to his own philo= sophy in any dramatic way, and never applied to the *structure* of the phil= osophy and whether that structure actually puts up large barriers to critic= ism. I'm not even sure popperians know what I'm talking about when I mentio= n things like structural barriers, but it's very common and ubiquitious. Ev= er heard of non-tariff barriers?=20 OK back to this MWI thing. I will reflect on what you say.
