Who Shouldn’t Reduce Time’s Arrow
Conquering Mount Everett
This paper develops and advocates a rule for assigning self-locating credences in quantum branching scenarios, called Indexed Branch-Counting. It is argued that Indexed Branch-Counting can be justified on both accuracy-theoretic grounds and on the grounds that it satisfies a requirement of exchangeability for probability assignments. Since Indexed Branch-Counting diverges from the Born Rule, this poses trouble for Everettian approaches to probabi…
How to Assess Claims in Multiple‐Option Choice Sets
Particular persons have claims against being made worse off than they could have been.The literature, however, has focused primarily on only two-option cases; yet, these cases fail to capture all of the morally relevant factors, especially when a person's existence is in question.This paper explores how to assess claims in multiple-option choice sets.We scrutinize the only extant proposal, offered by Michael Otsuka, which we call the Weakening Vi…
Interactionist zombies
Rethinking history and potentiality
I attempt to derive a theory of history and potentiality in the work of Aristotle, Hegel, and Heidegger, laying out the mutual critiques of each in order to determine what might be required in a possible reformulation. I then attempt to provide one potential “reconstruction” which accounts for central desiderata in each of the three theories and which, I argue, provides a beginning framework for an account compatible with core modernist and postm…
