Err, what??
Is this a "Schroedinger's Cat" type thing, to highlight the absurdity of
the statement? or does 'Many Minds' also need to explain what
fundamental laws of physics make a distinction between matter that
behaves as turbulent flow and matter that does not, matter that behaves
as Ocean waves and matter that does not, matter that behaves as a
parallel set of loosely-linked pendulums, and matter that does not,
etc., etc., ad infinitum? Is there some kind of complexity cut-off? (and
what would it be?).
Actually, come to think of it, those two are the same thing. Absurd.
OK, I've just had a bit of a read about 'many minds'. It's unstated
fundamental assumption is dualism. So much for that. It doesn't need to
explain anything, it's magic.
