Re: How Quantum Mechanics Works?

I have two questions regarding Quantum Mechanics: Entanglement and Randomness. I don't seem to understand these concepts. I can't find the logic. where does it say in the book of GM/GP that logic is needed? my understanding of it is that you need to through logic under the bus first and foremost.

Re: Silence, Reflection and the Golden Rule

You can do what you want but you form the consequences you will be judged by. yes, actions speak louder than words. agreed. If you think about it, the golden rule gives complete moral freedom while maintain morality as truly existing in itself. is that what you meant to say above? I'm dumb, i just ...

Re: Silence, Reflection and the Golden Rule

That golden rule provides the foundation for how we interact both with ourselves and other's and in these respects acts as a form of structuring both ourselves and other's by allowing us to do whatever we want.

Re: Do Not Blame Muslims!

The first inherent problem with Islam is to claim that everyone is inherently Islamic in nature, and that they must all be brought back to Islam. Therein lies conflict. No other Abrahamic religion claims that sort of universality in nature. Sure, Christianity tries to 'save' non believers, but neve...

Re: What's the healthiest food you can eat?

"Walker" has excellent musical and movie taste (i.e the arts in general too i assume), and yet is a Trumpite.

Re: Music

trivial note:

Fall of Eagles (TV mini-series of early 70's - and excellent too BTW)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0207885/

used Prokofiev's 4th as music in that series.

2-cents.
