Have you ever thought of the most horrible, evil, despicable thing
you could possibly do in a given situation and then realized that if the Everett many-worlds hypothesis is correct, then there exists a universe in which you did it?

Is it weird to feel guilty about that? :shrug:

2. Sure

I enjoy speculating on the potential darkness of my character. It's a natural part of self-examination.

I kind of wish I could "import" my bad selves from other worlds to do my dirty work. I think there was an epiosode of the Outer Limits like that...

4. No, I haven't.
And since I spend my days being frozen into inaction by guilt, and feeling guilty about that... so... I guess I'm really not the one to answer.

5.  I never thought of it that way
I think my evil self would be in prision by now though. If life were a plausible fiction story, I would not due the worst thing if I have been living my life this way up until this point.

6. Thought about it, yes
Felt guilty about it, no. Acknowledged the fact that sanity and self-control are very, very important, for sure. Our brains come up with some weird reactions and options for us, and it's up to us to choose the ones we deem best. It's how we define 'best' that makes all the difference...

7. Yes, and I have felt guilty about it, too
One of the "me"s in another universe is not a nice person.
