        I mean, you can try to kill yourself, and if you survive each attempt then you are quantum immortal.

        But, this is my universe, so you probably won’t survive in mine. But in yours, you’ll be immortal!

          Of course statistically the odds of surviving through any given second decreases until eventually reaching a number so infinitesimally small that it is effectively zero.

      “Quantum immortality” is magical thinking for people that aren’t comfortable with their own mortality. It’s functionally no different than belief in an afterlife.

        That is not true. Quantum immortality does not mean you will live forever. It means that whenever there’s a non-zero chance of surviving something, you will do so. At one point you will die in all conceivable universes, at which point your consciousness is finally gone.
