Isn't the inverse also true? Wouldn't there always be an outcome where
you were born a little earlier, or were transported back in time through
some means so that there are "universes" where your consciousness exists
at the very beginning? I don't really believe this, but the logic seems
to apply just the same. You can also play the same game with other
qualities of consciousness (Is there always a universe where you are a
little more intelligent, or knowledgeable, so that there are some
universes that you know everything that can be known?)
My personal belief is that QTI is not the end result of our
consciousness. It's just too strange (and this coming from someone who
accepts some pretty strange beliefs in the name of QM).
