The MWI made me take the idea of multiple universes/multiple realities serious. When I joined this list I believed that quantum suicide could work, but I later found out that it cannot possibly work. I now believe that there exists an ensemble of all possible mathematical models/descriptions/computer programs. These things exist in a mathematical sense. For this idea to work (to yield predictions that are consistent with the known laws of physics) one has to assume that there exists a measure that prefers simple programs over complex programs.
