The focus on “observation” in quantum mechanics is dumb and damaging. In quantum mechanics observation means something very different from what people assume when you use the word observation. When you say “if we observe the position of the

None of the characteristics you mention are actually related to cancer though. If we banned everything that caused dry throat or caused you to caught because “obviously they cause cancer”, where would we be today? I mean we could ban 80% of

It’s main character is an incompetent drunken father who regularly strangles his son for annoying him. It started out controversial and the success normalized it. Now we all just laugh at the kid being strangled.

Think of it this way. If you buy a ticket you can show the ticket and it’s valid even though you never provide proof of identity, and the person checking is just verifying that the human entity in front of them have a piece of cardboard. No

No. Nothing of Freuds is actually testable. He asserts that there is a “conscious mind” and “subconscious mind” but only in concept. You might as well try to build an alternative theory of mechanics based on an assertion that all objects ha
