We have to assume that nature “does” those consequences of our own brains being embedded in the very nature we're trying to describe though. Even if we can’t even articulate precisely what they are the assumption is not so mild.

That was not my intention. If there is a non-rude way of conveying the message “when I said that it depends on the definition of interaction you gave me one and then you told me to ignore it” please assume that I had written that instead.

So much for your own definition of “interaction”…

Then the non-locality of entanglement doesn’t get you that because it concerns a single system.

Depends on the definition of “interaction”.

I was just clarifying that norm and distance are not the same as you seemed to imply with "a real distance (a norm)". (And I think one can also intuitively understand that the distance from A to B may not be the same as the distan

The odds don’t “sound equal”. According to you, they are equal (2/3). Saying “before opening the email I think the probability that you have one boy and one girl is 1/2 but one of two things will happen, I either find that you hav

Thanks for your answer. What I don’t understand is that when you read the content of that email you will find yourself in either the first situation (I told you that I have two children and that (at least) one of them is a boy) or the secon

I don't get it. If I say that I have two children and (at least) one is a boy you will say that the probability that I have one boy and one girl is 2/3. If I say that I have two children and (at least) one is a girl you will say t

If I understand correctly what you said: If I tell you that one kid is male, you think that the probability that there is one male and one female is 2/3. If I tell you that one kid is female, you think that the probability that there i

As you find “both girls or both boys” problematic for some reason maybe we can discuss the following questions instead - where hopefully there is no subtle change of meaning. ————- Do you agree with the following? > I tell you I have two

I’ll come back to your reply later, but I would appreciate it if you could give a precise answer to the questions I asked. It may help to find a common understanding on top of which we can build a clear discussion of the subtleties involved
