Quantum mechanics has this extreme intellectual sheen, and disagreeing with the orthodoxy is a surefire way to self-recategorize as a crank. The layers of lindy thinking accumulate into unquestionable dried crusts that seminarians are instructed to accept on faith so they can join the church of shut up and calculate.

Incredibly mid curve take lmao QM is still exceptionally hotly contested so much that recent winners of 2022 Nobel were trying to poke holes in it as you mentioned in your video in the thread I don’t get the negativity here — QM continues to stun scientists that it’s an accurate description of the world

One man's wizard is another man's mid curve. I'm not disagreeing with the math of quantum mechanics — its predictions are accurate. I'm disagreeing with the interpretation. And I think interpretation matters because it has implications, ranging from algorithm design to security to worldview.
