I'm thankful with the life I have now.
It would be cool, going to a better parallel universe though.

Next time he better tell you the nuke is headed for your hometown

I see wishing for unity as wishing that not to happen. Even better, it's like wishing for world peace. I wish people out there were friendlier. Cant bring myself to fake a smile.

He could have wished no version of himself would witness the nuclear event, which would save lives across the multiverse and increase the Unity of more troubled universes rather than jumping ship to greener pastures to leave other universes to suffer the kaboom

Reminds me of that series Devs I just watched on Hulu. It's basically a multiverse where there's like an infinite number of realities/worlds that we occupy. And this one we're in now is just one of zillion.

who the hell knows maybe there's a world/universe on the other end of the spectrum where zZZz tells everyone that he hates them 
Have studied and played around with multiverse theory in other ways it has a really interesting rendition in early Zen Buddhism where it refers to each enlightened being having a "Buddha-field" around them and those unenlightened beings that inhabit their universe are in varying proximity to the Buddha while also implying that each unenlightened being has its own universe, and that universes interpenetrate with each other this becomes a lot more complex and defined in Pure Land Buddhism
it really interested me at the time, because my Physics class was going over the Hubble Sphere which is a science-based idea that each individual point of reference has a slightly variable "universe" due to a shifting of the Hubble Sphere (defined as the furthest observerable distance from a point)
this has come up as interest for me again in more recent years as the Dark Souls series extensively employs a perception of interpenetrating universes as its means of implementing multiplayer systems in the game where you can invite others into your universe to have them help you; or aggressively invade the universe of another to exploit them for their power but the universe itself is always nearly identical, the thing that changes is the player character's degree of transience in being able to impact and make lasting change to that universe
in Wiccan/Neo-Pagan magic, universes are traversable through a portal as a means of conveyance this may tie in to perceptions of the Fae and how they can access and leave our world but it also gets used in ritual purposes where you remove yourself far from society to a natural portal (such as an opening or pathway between trees far away from your home) then you summon up a traversal, and move into the new universe in pschological terms, this is used as a way to conciously abandon and leave behind negative habits -- stepping through the portal, if it does not transport you anywhere, cleanses your mind of attachment to what you want to leave behind if you choose to let it

I don't care to see it stopped I care to see Asante live with the reprecussion of the prediction he made rather than mask it with "well, if it didn't happen you're just in the universe my Spirit Guide moved me into for safety!"
At the very least, hopefully his Guide's trickster nature kicks in and every rendition of Asante that was due to witness nuclear fire ends up dying from Covid before it happens while this one with us has to live with the weight of killing off thousands of his other selves to make this version of himself feel more unified as an individual who doesn't witness the bombs

I’d rather let him believe his “spirit guide” is real and let him stay in the dream world.
ehhhh, real or not, he has spoken a lot lately about accepting darkness as necessary for growth and balancing the light and now he is saying that because he had a happy wish to altruistically help humanity, his spirit guide moved him to a universe where he will not have to witness the suffering he expected to, in order to take part in accelerated progress
so the darkness and foulness balancing life are to be the concerns of some other Asante, or, perhaps a Wiccan_Seeker being prodded by a SweatLeafSamadhi in a universe where Shroomery never implemented name changes 
You can’t balance darkness and light because it’s the measurement of one thing.
I don’t think you should humor his delusions like this. Also the Many Worlds hypothesis is hardly reality, it’s just one interpretation of quantum mechanics.
The universe isn’t in balance, it’s a dynamic chaos that somehow manages to work out, until heat death that is

Which one? Asante's, Zen Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, my bastardization of the Hubble Sphere which may not even be relevant anymore because of what China was doing with viewing technology
The Dark Souls interpretation is totally valid, can log in to my game and have other players interact with it freely but that is more a matter of microcosm and macrocosm where being invaded by another player in game stifles my progress and makes me feel bad in the real world which dulls my perception of reality around me
or the loose Wiccan/Pagan representation of Fae

Most of them, more the dark souls one than the others. But dark souls is just a game, it doesn’t apply here. It would be like when I played Nioh 2 and entered the dark realm with the yokai.

my comprehension of solipsism is not very complete but the Dark Souls representation would imply that there is a relatively concrete observable reality independent of the individual tho do recognize that there is an instancing that takes place on a per-character basis
also, would not apply to Dark Souls played offline like a casul
but the reason it piqued my interest with regards to various multiverse theories, is because From Software puts a lot of Japanese icongraphy and mythological perceptions into their titles so it reflects on things like how Buddhist philosophy from hundreds of years ago is viewed in the modern lens
become good enough at the right games tho, and you can use it to finance raising a family

I could have wished for a ton of gold but I wished for something for Humanity entirely, to become a galactic society, so that all the life of earth can spread.
