Abstract

It is suggested that probabilities need not apply at all to matter in the physical world, which may be entirely described by the amplitudes given by the quantum mechanical state. Instead, probabilities may apply only to conscious perceptions in the mental world. Such perceptions may not form unique sequences that one could call individual minds.
