Meh, I've been more worried about other things.

What are your concerns? I don't see what exactly is problematic.

Determinism (without the mess of parallel worlds or randomness implied by quantum mechanics) => there is a determined future where who you are plays a defined role in determining the future.

Indeterminism/"parallel universism" => future can pretty much be anything, and there's nothing you can do about it. Your personality has no impact on what happens in the future. You're nothing more than an observer of what is to happen.
