So there may well be a parallel universe where you made all the right decisions, became a rock star, an astronaut, or a Hollywood celebrity, but it still wont change the fact that you are stuck in this universe where you are sitting watching a YouTube and wondering if multiverses are real or not.

I don't spend much time thinking about universes where one decision made my life different, but I do wonder about universes where different outcomes millions of years ago led to completely different worlds. Say, a world where a type of dinosaur became sapient. Or a mollusk. Or a miacid. Or even something as close as a different primate. The possibilities seem endless.

I get that perspective and see how it can help. But I also found it helpful to think it's possible to "change" the past through actions done today. Not in the literal sense of actually altering events in the past, but in the sense that, if we change the way we think about the past or learn about it more, we can effectively change our understanding of it. So if you do a good deed or reveal truths formerly kept hidden ,you can alter the way people understand the past and thereby also influencing the future. This is not at all supposed to be taken as concretely literal.

this is why i love Futurama-- in the episode "The Farnsworth Parabox", they even account for the 'other outcomes' of measured events (mainly a Flipped Coin, but it still hits the Idea)...for example, the very coin-flip, that decided on Bender's "Foghat Grey" color, was the quantum-equivalent coin-flip to what made 'Alternate Bender' choose Gold instead

For a long time I thought Sean Carroll was a theoritical physist but it turns out that he's a real live person after all.
