Why limit it to the equations we've found to describe our world? Why not
go full Bruno Marchal? I'm just amazed that people invest this kind of
belief in metaphysics. It's just neo-Platonism.

Brent,
I actually find it far less extravagant to say everything allowed by
the equations happens, rather than claiming reality is perfectly
constrained to only one path that hides all alternatives.
To me, saying all possibilities exist is simpler than assuming a giant
cosmic conspiracy to exclude them.

Don't you think that a theory claiming there is one unique

deserves to be called silly?
What else would be?

Is "utmost" that level of horror you express when
