the privileged observer is just pop mysticism and the academic sources it emanated from should be fucking ashamed of themselves

As the person who brought up many worlds in the first place. It's not necessary for a "Non deterministic universe" but is necessary for the chaos of quantum mechanics to contain something humans would recognize as choice.
-
If human beings have any choice in an inherently chaotic universe, it's because we chose which timelines to passively observe. In a non chaotic universe, nothing resembling free will can possibly exist.

"could rely or not" reduces to "does not rely"
-
okay yeah but it doesn't reduce to "refutes"
-
"the only way" vs. "does not rely" -> refutation
-
enh nah because it isn't speaking to the question pomo's assertion addresses at all, a many-worlds-derived free will would slot into the model as well as any other kind
-
I thought I had made this clear, but let me try again: It is sufficient to show that Many Worlds is not a /necessary/ predicate of Free Will.
-
no, you've just kept saying it, but because Conway's model doesn't say anything at all about where its free will comes from, it cannot do that because it is completely disjoint from the question
-
It shows that any interpretation of QM can have free will at the quantum level. That the interpretation is orthogonal to the question of free will.
-
OP claims that interpretation is /not/ orthogonal that it is compatible only with Many Worlds.
