Intuitively I think that Deutsch's many worlds solution is a workaround, trying to avoid the inherently inconsistent quality of objects that O'Connell bravely argues for.Timothy Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05067377804366363020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438289051411770399.post-8375557110524248672011-06-24T21:17:16.275-05:002011-06-24T21:17:16.275-05:00a) David Detuch talks about the same thing (being ...a) David Detuch talks about the same thing (being in two places at the same time) and went on to state on that basis there are multiple selves in multiple universes leading *identical* lives.<br /><br />I don't think he considered the role of chance. Just suppose in one of those multiple universes one single atom went in the opposite direction, thereby setting off a different chain of reactions ... and lives.<br /><br />b) Mr O'Connell echos Deleuze: being is not inherent, but being is difference i.e. I am not me inherently in myself, but I am me by the difference between me and the tree, and vice versa. In much the same way that all the other quantum objects define you, you define all other quantum objects.<br /><br />Interesting talk...Christopher Dempseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08105460271728033337noreply@blogger.com
