John McAfee was a tech-mogul turned international fugitive

John McAfee lived an interesting existence, to say the very least. He went from a hopeless drug user, to a multi-millionaire tech mogul, to a wanted fugitive in his 75 years of life. McAfee would be found dead in a Spanish prison cell, with the cause of death being recorded as suicide. However, I am much more fascinated with his beliefs in quantum immortality and quantum suicide than almost any other part of his life.

There is a reason that quantum mechanics are considered one of the hardest to understand concepts in science. Let me make this clear before I continue: I have no clue what I am talking about in terms of quantum sciences, and I might be wrong on some of the points. I will try to give you the general understanding of what quantum immortality means and is.
