Not language games, just that translating the math is hard because quantum physics isn't exactly intuitive. Yes they do, otherwise you end up with peo...

Knowing what's going to happen is a requirement, that's how we make decisions. We do what we think is best based on reasons. No we're not, because the...
December 25, 2024 at 22:32
From what I gather it doesn't mean much for our day to day lives, but for quantum cryptography maybe.
December 25, 2024 at 22:30
It’s just facts. Most of the nonsense I heard around this is just misunderstanding the science. That’s actually a good reason to not partake in it and...
December 24, 2024 at 01:40
Ummm...yes. The reasons for suicide aren't temporary, we just say that because of hindsight. At that moment you don't know what's gonna happen. Think ...
December 23, 2024 at 21:14
I don't really care because half of what they have to say isn't worth listening to. Or none of that. The whole "world beyond our senses" is just noise...
December 23, 2024 at 21:12
That age range is kinda problematic and the size is too small. It's only temporary in hindsight, so that statement is false.
December 23, 2024 at 04:59
Science is consensus, that’s how it works. It makes perfect sense which is right or wrong because one explains the data and the other doesn’t. The pro...
December 23, 2024 at 02:38
Well no, philosophy isn’t required and just kicks up the data since philosophers don’t understand what’s going on. Stuff like this just reinforces my ...
December 23, 2024 at 02:34
No it’s just that you don’t get it and are starting pointless arguments.
December 23, 2024 at 02:32
And this, again, is just ignorance of the subject matter. It doesn't really merit much more engagement than that.
December 20, 2024 at 20:18
Not even a reply because it's speaking massively of privilege and doesn't grasp the whole scope of life. Outside of modern society life is pretty brut...
December 20, 2024 at 20:18
More ignorance on the Big Bang and what it means. To compare it to Genesis is the height of stupid. It's so ignorant that I cannot fathom it.
December 20, 2024 at 19:37
The anti-realism is based on a misunderstanding of quantum physics, it still hinges on the notion that consciousness is involved when it's not. The pa...
December 20, 2024 at 19:36
You are keeping you alive when you eat and all that stuff. I already covered that at the start, you’re just not paying attention. No it’s not incohere...
December 19, 2024 at 17:58
That’s not a problem with it. The workings are pretty much standard for something with no design or intelligence. Tell me you don’t understand the the...
December 19, 2024 at 17:56
They’re not, you’re just not able to engage with them. It’s easier to just dismiss such things rather than wonder why we even bother with them. It’s t...
December 18, 2024 at 02:00
I made that point already, such things matter only if you have to live and there is no have to when it comes to living.
December 18, 2024 at 01:53
space and time within the universe can be motion, obviously. The universe is in motion due to its own space and time. It’s not hard to understand.
December 18, 2024 at 01:52
Sounds more like you don’t have an actual case to make. I already addressed this with my “so what” at the beginning. Not an argument. Like I’ve mentio...
December 16, 2024 at 16:47
The universe is in motion. It’s more like you have a limiting notion of movement. Holographic principle, already junk out of the gate.
December 16, 2024 at 16:43
Irrelevant, for reasons I already mentioned. There is no real need to be concerned over what happens to others if one is dead. All that stuff vanishes...
December 16, 2024 at 03:46
They aren't really philosophical categories, they're pretty well defined TBH. Except it is. Yes we do, yes we do, and we have some solid ideas. Not re...
December 16, 2024 at 03:38
I guess some indication that my replies and posts are being read and engaged with. The whole "love" thing I covered at the start and yet it just feels...
December 15, 2024 at 19:20
It's pretty much done every day, you don't really need philosophy to do that. The fact it pans out and leads to discoveries that we can manipulate and...
December 15, 2024 at 19:18
You didn't even read the original post I made which addresses why your argument fails. Never mind that I've done that before and it doesn't lead to me...

December 15, 2024 at 16:22
Well it’s not much of a problem per se because this only applies to very small stuff, not our day to day. The interpretations are just a way to explai...
December 15, 2024 at 16:20
that was a bad answer, definitely not 100. The same applies to your so called love. At the end it’s still about you and feeling better for yourself it...
December 15, 2024 at 16:17
They aren't answers thought. Love isn't a reason it's just platitudinous nonsense, same with making meaning. I gave the case at the start why such rea...
December 14, 2024 at 22:10
I'm not reading all that, summarize into English. I don't understand why people assume everyone understands this on the level that they do. Do any of ...
December 14, 2024 at 22:09
It's not, that is EXACTLY what he means by the participatory universe and it's pretty much regarded as false. Also consciousness doesn't cause collaps...
December 14, 2024 at 22:08
Pretty sure they don't do that.
December 14, 2024 at 22:03
From what I see it can’t, especially in this case where the interpretations of quantum physics aren’t even close to the math that is taking place. The...
December 14, 2024 at 15:45
Sorta, I think the Copenhagen is saying that nothing exists unless you look at it, but that’s not true. The particles still exist, just that some thin...
December 14, 2024 at 15:25
Even still you have to posit an external reality with peer review otherwise there isn’t really a point to science. Even the crazier interpretations do...
December 14, 2024 at 04:43
Not really, more like non local is quantum and classical is local. But the term refers to proximity.
December 14, 2024 at 04:42
Well the issue with that is we are working with interpretations of extremely high level math, so our wondering is really more like butchering the evid...
December 12, 2024 at 21:37
Ummm, not really? I've seen a few of them and the only thing they have in common is how they don't understand the science. Most physicists I've talked...
December 12, 2024 at 07:44
that was my initial response to what they said, however after further thought I have no reason to take the person in the Quora answer seriously. No am...
August 28, 2023 at 04:00
Except that we do. Also good work showing how useless this sort of thinking is in day to day. Looking back at the guy in the answer he's obviously wro...
August 28, 2023 at 01:52
Again no, those are special instances. And as said before it is playing tricks. Still proving you don’t understand what you cite.
August 22, 2023 at 16:50
Considering all you're doing is parroting one thing it's likely you. Like I said it does deceive in certain instances, like water and mirages, and not...
August 21, 2023 at 04:44
Again, it depends on the context, science is more gray than most think. Especially in biology. Like I said you don't understand it as well as you thin...
August 18, 2023 at 03:29
That’s just not true. Refraction can sometimes be a trick like with water. That is also well understood in physics. I’m thinking you don’t get this as...
August 18, 2023 at 01:38
In a sense it can be a trick of the light depending on the where
August 17, 2023 at 18:22
There really isn't a reason to believe qualia exist. It's just another last gasp of dualism.
August 17, 2023 at 02:57
There is no stance, it's really just the brain. That fact is more or less solved at the moment and I am well aware of refraction hence it's not the br...
August 17, 2023 at 02:55
I mean it's been 5 pages and you haven't really gone anywhere with this. You kinda have to accept other minds otherwise there isn't a reason to take a...
August 17, 2023 at 02:54
No it is behaving wrongly because it appears bent when it isn't. It has nothing to do with the intuitive interpretation of the light, hence why it's a...
