Or, you could go out same as always in this universe, but there would be another where you stayed in bed every day. Regardless of which universe the "you" I'm typing this response to is experiencing, they both will come into existence. They will exist regardless of what you do, of any decision you ever make. The split of a universe into other universes is unrelated to intention. TBH, I thought it was undermining to your argument to bring it up.
TBH ever since I stumbled on biocentrism I'm thinking it's the better example of the two. Fine, I throw the white flag on Many-Worlds Theory.

As for your first point, I understand what you're getting at. As for my stance, in case you had any trouble understanding: Yes, a reality does exist, but we must define the "how" and "why" ourselves through outward/inward observation, through the tools we have at hand: science, spirituality, philosophy, etc. (I tend to give Epistemology a wide berth, in case you can't tell ).

That's a good rule to live by, friend. Too bad more do not follow it. I try to, at least.

"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **** we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." - Tyler Durden
