Can anyone with a stronger grasp of quantum mechanics than I have refute this guy?

Dunno if these links will work, but

Don't ask me why he's shirtless in some of these videos. I do know he must have believed what he was talking about, because

when I was his age I stayed up one night and reinvented Aristole's phlogiston. Kid seems to be having fun...

clicked the last link. Oh. was older then he looks and He killed himself. Could have done without that. Still, if his argument was that this is a simulation and non of this is real, that sounds like classic depression dissociation wearing a fancy shirt.

He doesn't argue that it's a simulation, but that essentially there is no actually operative principle of identity in the universe. You might die, and then reexperience reality in the next most simple form closest to yours on the moment of death - something being born somewhere else. It wouldn't be you of course, in the sense of possessing a coherent identity handed down from the current you, but it wouldn't be some kind of infinite darkness or anything, because such a state isn't possible.

Not Hindu reincarnation (this soul is reborn in this other body), but more like Buddhist rebirth (tus stream of consciousness resumes elsewhere).

Sam Harris (who I don't especially respect or like) has played with similar ideas before.

I don't really watch videos. Sometimes I download their transcripts. Fundamentally for this sort of question, I find myself more interested in if it should shape how I can act as a moral being in this life. Something like the type of reincarnation is beyond the knowable, but there's a multitude of options for afterlife that means that 'don't be a dick' remains good life advice.
