I feel like mentioning some of the obvious reasons there cannot possibly be such a thing as "quantum" physics distinct from "classical" physics. I do not care that the entrenched establishment says otherwise. They are not very intelligent.

Even intelligent persons get sidetracked into the "debate" system—they read what the unintelligent persons write and fashion responses. It would be better NOT to read the unintelligent papers, for they mislead.

#quantumPhysics #physics #mathematics

So, anyway, here are some of the obvious reasons there can be no such thing as "quantum" physics.

The first is that quantum mechanics is a hodgepodge of mathematical methods, and far from being a fundamental branch of mathematics. Therefore the claim that there are physics problems that require quantum mechanics for their solution is false on its face.

Anyone presenting "Bell's theorem" would, in any other field, be laughed out of the room for screwing up Bayes' rule. In physics, when the exceptions to Bell's theorem" are pointed out—thus proving it is not a theorem—they are called "loopholes".

Of course it is inflammatory to say someone is unintelligent, but politeness is used as a weapon in the style of physics prose. One is disallowed to call idiotic notions idiotic, and magical reasoning magical, even though in any other field they would be laughed at.

"Enshittification" is roughly snobbish people making a pseudo-intellectual big deal out of the phenomenon that the restaurant gives the best service when it first opens.

@br00t4c Palmer is performing a shallow analysis. For instance, Trump does not think Hannibal Lecter is real. Rather, Trump brings up that bad joke at random, having no sense of where it actually ought to go in a speech or if at all. Also, "senile" is not an appropriate term, because a young person with dementia would be no better. Just use the term "dementia".

Musk definitely is not doing the best thing to stay copacetic with Trump, however, which is to be INVISIBLE, so he can't fire you.

@br00t4c Revision: I will admit that Trump may think "Silence of the Lambs" is a biopic.

@AnOldGuy @VedaDalsette The United States is on the cusp of becoming majority non-white. California, by far the most populous state, already has done so.

There is a desperation afoot to prevent the change happening, and at least to establish a Jim Crow-like, white supremacist social order ahead of it happening. That is what Trump is a figurehead for.

People think it is a cult of Trump. I doubt it. Trump is just a face on a label. The Hate will survive Trump's dementia decline.

@br00t4c Too obscure.

I see Trump responded to Joe's "garbage gaffe" by associating himself with a garbage truck!

Trump is nothing if not a genius. And he is not a genius.

Trump, supposedly, is threatening a 100 percent tariff on countries blah blah blah.

In other words, he is promising to raise taxes!

He consistently does this. Trump went to the University of Pennsylvania and yet thinks tariffs are paid by somebody other than the purchaser.

During Trump's quasi-presidency, when he imposed a tariff on imported electronics, I DIRECTLY PAID A FIFTEEN DOLLAR TARIFF on a technical electronic device. The tariff was added to my bill, not to the price of my item.

@nihilvt I don't have the time to worry about your mental health, sorry.

@readbeanicecream One could have used colored vapor and seen the vortex directly. A vortex is the most intuitive potential answer, anyway, once mentioned.

(I live in tornado country.)

If the Supreme Court were about to declare the Democratic Party cannot choose a nominee, it might as well declare the Republican Party the only legal party and its nominee automatically president.

That is how silly this conversation is:

@gwynnion @happymilk Republicans depend very much on keeping those parts of the Constitution that are there for historical reasons and are not suited to modern conditions.

Notice also how their law pundits preach against paying heed to modern conditions. They do it slyly, by calling it "originalism" rather than by a more proper name such as "retro-calendarism".

@DivineKestrel @lisamelton @fahrni @kdawson

"A human life would be better devoted to the perfection of painting by numbers than to such a project" is how I would have put it, but then I tend not to get my point across. :) (This is me saying I agree with you.)

@rodhilton He was called out for bullshitting on Twitter’s software, so I do know one thing: he’s a skilled bullshitter.

There are principles of psychology that say he almost surely uses the same method in all fields.

(I’m not a psychologist, but I am a skilled psychiatric client.)

@gnutelephony @baldur Brains also "reprogram" themselves by patch wiring!
