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.

Which under an expansive theory of personal identity, imply that those claims can't be said to be true or false. There's a couple more points you need to make the proof work on a technical level, I think.

I really hope there is not any ability to influence because if there was I would feel obligated to remain in the hell worlds for the sake of trying to make things better or lead people out of them.

Do you consider the world you're in to be a hell world?

It is certainly populated with demons. Whether it meets the criteria according to any given traditional metaphysics is a different question I'm unable to address. I'm not terribly well read, and there is an endless breadth and depth of literature and thought.
