Personally I prefer the superdeterminism arguement: i.e. the state of every "future" entanglement was already set "before" the big bang. The anthropocentric corollary is that "free will" is an illusion.
You shouldn't even bother responding to the person that's claiming to be a research scientist in his/her profile and while he/she wrote such garbage at an attempt to justify such nonsense. HN is overcroweded with people that are against the notion of free will being an illusion. Even dang has a bias. All comments like yours just get unfairly downvoted until they're not visible.
Yeah there is definite a SF hippie/beat woo vibe here at times. Maybe "consciousness" is fundamental and free will is real but so far we haven't see any evidence. I think superdeterminism is more parsiminous than multiple universes.
