For the multiverse theorists, I'm saying, yeah.
Well, this is good. So let's say, entertain the multiverse view. Let's pretend it's true, right? And so you've got infinite pleasure, happiness, and infinite suffering and pain. So I think once you do minus one from the other, you've got a neutral set of existence. Let's just say this. So on balance, it's about the same.

So if you're a pantheist and you believe in the God of the multiverse, if you embrace multiverse theism, then you can't believe that God is good in the same way. There's also a problem which is, you mentioned something like the process, right? But there are worlds in which this process has already been realized.

It doesn't really matter if our world reaches that or not in the grand scheme of calculating the amount of good and bad in the world. You might think that some people say stuff like this, right? They go, I want to stop eating meat or stop taking long-haul flights. But really, when it comes down to it, it doesn't really matter whether I buy that chicken or take that flight.

It's not going to impact the overall good and bad that's in the world. It's a drop in a huge ocean that really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of it. If the multiverse theory is true, something like that hits a little bit harder. If your goal is to make existence as a whole greater or better, then it's nothing compared to the infinite suffering and pain that's already out there.

You can't change the overall value of existence. I still think, and I'm with you on this, I'm sort of following the line of argument to the point where it's fleshed out fully, but... Now we've said that, I still think there's a point in being moral in developing your own character, sorting out your own house or community or country or continent and the world. It seems like that's what our job is.

Yeah. It seems like that's still worthwhile.
Yeah. It seems like that's still worthwhile.
Yeah. It seems like that's still worthwhile.
Yeah, I think that's fine. There's other problems though that seem to fall out of this as well, right? Which is like we have a concept of what it is to be a person back to our individual subjective conscious minds.
