I’m not sure I understand your response to Adrian here? The claim is not that we should search for a view that has no weird or counterintuitive claims in it, only that some views might reasonably be rejected on the basis of their weird and counterintuitive claims. There might be no view that is completely un-weird, but handstandism is nonetheless obviously too weird!
Basically, my point is that coming back to my first comment is that the future can get really absurd, and arguably will.
We can pick which absurdities we choose and which to reject, but the option of a non-absurd future isn’t really on the table. It’s like claiming that gyroscopes won’t do weird things.
