One critique that glares in my face is "you changed the textbooks via hackers and now my children's development is your fault". These accusations fly when money (e.g. big textbook starts a media campaign) is on the line. As s

I think that the same way that energy is shed when a particle steps from high energy to low energy is the way that "gravity aka possibility energy" is shed when quantum superposition collapses into position. I have daydreamed of b
