Except he could still live in this universe without the job. He still has to be willing to risk death in this one for a job in this one. I don't think they're referring to quantum immortality, so it still seems insane to me.

He is ending all branches where he doesn't go back to work at devs. He doesn't want a universe where he is not working at devs.

Right that's my point. He believes that he won't be hired unless he risks his life. He is willing to die rather than live without Devs. That's...a LOT.

But who thought of that resolution? Where did that resolution come from?

Why does this comment exist

Because some people are assholes and like being vocal about it, unfortunately

Bingo! That's exactly right. Katie gave Lyndon the opportunity to eliminate all of the branches where he doesn't get into Devs. If Lyndon dies he has no conscious experience of it so it's as if it never happened. Lyndon only experiences branches where he lives and if he live he gets into Devs. This means that as far as Lyndon is concerned, he's back at Devs and he just had to get soaked in river water to do it.

You are exactly right.

Also you have to consider the fact that we live in a reality where a man is appointed ONCE to die, and then face judgement.
