this just shifts your consciousness to worlds with saner copyright regimes, seems fine

Sometimes I think about the implications of belief becomes reality based philosophical systems and conclude I must be alone in a nightmare world only I have the strength or lack of sense to envision. But I also worry there may still be people here and I don't want to abandon them

It's not that beliefs affect reality, it's that this reality concept can't be grounded philosophically, especially once you take the notion of a multiverse seriously.

It depends on whether the multiverse includes interactions between universes or not, which most models don't believe, but I've felt similar things to be true at times. They just don't help me tremendously with my schizoaffective symptoms.

Level 1-4 from Tegmark, eternal recurrence from Nietzsche, and modal realism from Lewis all yield the required conclusion. The main thing you need to be true is that for nearly all claims you might want to make about the world, they will be valid in some but not all worlds.

I can conceive of a sort of anthropocentric evolution taking place at the scale of worlds on this basis, I just don't buy into most claims about personal ability to influence the process.
