Another way to look at it is that you are dead almost everywhere in
the multiverse: dead at the centre of the Earth, dead in the Andromeda
Galaxy, dead in 5000 BC, etc. etc. However, you don't experience this
"being dead". You only experience those extremely rare parts of the
multiverse where you are alive.
