Liz,
That is very interesting. Do you remember anything about this
interview (where it was, who was interviewing him, etc.)?
One answer is in this very list. I think that it was in an early
(interesting) thread "Amoeba Croaks". I don't know if the archive can
give that back.
May be Liz will provide another answer.
Bruno
Thanks,
Jason

In an interview Max Tegmark said that he expected to have a
"truncated" form of QI - he'd survive the quantum suicide
experiment, but his brain would still deteriorate in any case until
he eventually fades out ("like when an amoeba croaks" were his exact
words, iirc)
I think he also mentioned that this might segue into being reborn,
so a form of reincarnation - but it's a while since I read it.

I was thinking specifically of Max Tegmark's MUH. He considers
minds to be "subsystems" of the maths - he doesn't say anything
about computations existing in arithmetic. So I think he probably
hasn't developed that aspect of the theory to the extent that you
have, and may not realise the full implications. Have you had any
communication with him? It could be interesting to combine your
ideas.
We have discussed on this list a long time ago. I was astonished
that he does not believe in the quantum immortality,
Interesting. And he is one who is well known for popularizing the
idea of proving MWI by putting a quantum gun to one's head. How did
he justify his disbelief in quantum immortality while at the same
time believe in MWI? What would he think the experimenter will
experience when he gets in the box with Schrodinger's cat?
