There is nothing special about me here. Under MWI, I will experience one
outcome of an experiment and not experience the other alternate
outcomes. The outcome that I experience is a matter of chance. The other
alternate outcomes are experienced by alternate continuations of me in
alternate universes. MWI is consistent without requiring any belief in
souls.
