"Perhaps you do!?"

:^) That's why I put "I" in quotes, it's a philosophical issue, because if there are infinite worlds then there must be other worlds where "I" seem to exist with nearly all the same attributes except that things go much better or worse in terms of achieving goals, enjoying success or failure, experiencing (or not) pleasures with the "Jessica Alba" etc. of those other worlds. But how can "I" in this world really be the same as, or even care about, the entity that seems much like me in those other worlds. I really don't care at all about the nearly-MEs in other worlds that I have no knowledge or experience of. Besides, this world seems quite absobing and challenging enough without worrying about how "I" am doing in an infinity of other worlds......

And as soon as we take it beyond one individual, to consider the multitude of fate awaiting all of the people we love and care about in an infinity of other worlds, it seems that every possible permutation of hope and despair, benefit and catastrophe, etc. must exist for all of our loved ones in those infinite other worlds. We might light to contemplate only the pleasant outcomes, but there must also be every possible bad, even hideous outcomes, if there really are an infinite number of worlds. Otherwise, we're not really talking about infinity, right?
