According to the theory of quantum immortality, everyone gets their own main-character timeline.

Karen: “I’M THE MAIN CHARACTER!”

Manager: “But not in this timeline, ma’am.”

Also, in most timelines you’re dead or never existed.

That's the best part, you have way more timelines where you aren't the MC so there's basically a 0% chance you're in one now.

Quantum immortality is just solopsism, with the added twist of watching all your loved ones die

Hard pass
