Right, and QTI isn't even much of a comfort in terms of avoiding
your own death, as there are no guarantees about the quality of the
surviving continuations. I remember Bruno saying once (paraphrasing)
"consciousness is a prison".
Otto Rössler is responsible for that assertion, which he used to sum
up Descartes, after one of my talk, years ago.
The one comfort I do enjoy from it - to the extent that I place any
faith in it - is not fearing dying in a plane crash.
That is weird, as I tend to feel that comp makes more frightening any
violent death. Surviving a violent death might not be so much fun.
But science should not be consolating a priori. Then we can have some
faith that Truth is related to the Good, not in the sense that Truth
is Good, but in the sense that avoiding Truth makes things worse. But
that kind of faith is more private and personal.

I have to agree I don't think Edgar posted any links to his business
or blog. Indeed if he had posted links to a blog on his theory I
would certainly have looked because the explanations here have been
less than clear.
I haven't criticise Edgar for a lack of immediate response once,
never mind on several occasions. I have criticised his lack of any
response to my questions when he's replied to other things but
obviously can't or won't answer me. (I am still thinking of starting
a thread on outstanding questions to Edgar, but tbh I can't be
bothered because I know it won't get me or any of us anywhere.)
On the subject of grief, I have wondered about that too. One reason
is that I don't know that, say, QTI is correct. But I think the main
one is that I personally have lost that person forever. My best
friend was murdered in 1995, for example, and that is someone I will
never see again. Likewise my father, who died over 10 years ago now.
If they're still alive and well somewhere in the multiverse that's a
bit of a comfort but I don't know that. Maybe I will realise it
eventually, when I'm 150 say...
