He makes more an analogy of quantum woo and decentralization woo, and i kind of agree with that. Honestly, this idea that you can pinpoint 1 similarity in a very humanly important thing and a technincal complicated, precise and solvable problem (like the consciousness and quantum or like social issues and decentralization (as he writes here) also, human intelligence and AI comes to mind) and then blow that similarity way out of proportion is a very interesting thing to think about and a thought this article presents quite well.
- foobarbecue 5y agoYes, I certainly agree that there's woo going on in both, and enthusiastic misunderstanding of technical things is a powerful and problematic phenomenon. I watched a video by a surf instructor the other day who kept talking about the Bernoulli Principle breathlessly and it was clear that the instructor had no idea what it was (he was actually talking about cohesion / adhesion of water)... and I'm sure most of his audience just ate it up and will be repeating it.
