fwiw, my concern isn’t premised on “all futures / choices being equally likely.”
I think the concern is closer to something like “some set of futures are going to happen (there’s some distribution of Everett branches that exists and can’t be altered from the inside), so there’s not really room to change the course of things from a zoomed-out, point-of-view-of-the-universe perspective.”
