- kelseyfrog 3y agoIn many other worlds gp got tremendous karma for their post. That's how quantum mental abilities work.
- ithkuil 3y agoDo you mean; Use a quantum random number generator and emit random words. Changes are that in some world the comment is insightful?
- mistermann 3y agoWell, generate reality for one. It's not a trivial detail, but it tends to be dismissed or taken for granted (or downvoted lol). Someone may venture into this territory some day, and perhaps that someone will find some travelling companions to make the journey more exciting and productive....time will tell!
- weard_beard 3y agoThe trick is you can only flip as yet unobserved bits. If we know the asteroid is coming we can't delete it.
- mistermann 3y agoSome bits can even be flipped in broad daylight while everyone's watching. One of the most popular ways to flip bits is by telling stories in which the bits have been flipped.
- weard_beard 3y agoThe power of stories is that you are alone in the telling of them. The survival, your own undressing, or redressing, the terrible fury of living life, constrained to the teacup of bedtime for children. The power that storytelling takes is a kind of leadership that is grudgingly respected, like a real bastard's funeral. It doesn't have much to do with physics.
- mistermann 3y ago> The power of stories is that you are alone in the telling of them. I don't know about you, but I've noticed a pattern where the stories people tell on social media and even in person often have an uncanny resemblance to the stories that are told the day before in mainstream media. Heck, if everyone plays their cards right, you can often even get a nice (profitable) war going! > It doesn't have much to do with physics. Mostly agree (the jury is still out on the hard problem of consciousness), it's metaphysics... and we all "know" what that "means": "woo woo"...or so they say. And, that realm often leaks into the physical realm, much to our horror/delight/confusion.
- flangola7 3y agoGenerate reality? I am not crystal clear on what you're talking about. Quantum computers are still just computers, not magical replicators from Star Trek.
- mistermann 3y agoI'm talking about the mind's ability to generate what "is", and "is not". It is a curso no doubt, but it is also sometimes a blessing. But usually it runs unnoticed (or even: denied) in the background, duffing things up. And when it gets noticed, sometimes really weird things happen.
- Dylan16807 3y ago> And when it gets noticed, sometimes really weird things happen. ....such as? If you have any proof you can probably get a nobel prize.
- mistermann 3y agoEveryone "already knows" these things, so no awards or even surprise awaits one.
- Dylan16807 3y agoIf you can change bits that have already been observed, that would be very surprising to people. Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean by "generate" but almost any kind of influence would have massive potential.
- mistermann 3y agoSurprising to some, pleasing to others, infuriating to others. But to those who have mastery over it: powerful.
- gopher_space 3y agoI was thinking op meant something like realizing everyone has their own take on NULL and none of them are really wrong or right.
- Viliam1234 3y ago> (or downvoted lol) Just use your quantum mind to change that downvote to upvote, problem solved.
- acheron 3y agoI’m guessing he’s referring to the Roger Penrose stuff — https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_New_Mind https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_New_Mind , etc.
