@djl@mastodon.mit.edu @TheBreadmonkey@beige.party uhm. ok. sounds like you have some emotional baggage to work out :-)
i just meant to say that a non-probabilistic universe might make it impossible for intelligent life to form. or, if formed, it would quickly control the space and destroy it through runaway cascades.

@lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place @TheBreadmonkey@beige.party That doesn't sound wrong. I'm irritated: irritated that despite that Feynman could state it so easily in 1966 (and Bell showed that it (Copenhagen) had to be right with Bell's inequality), much of the "popular" intros to QM get all tangled up in silliness. And the silliness is because (a) we can't see the wave function, (b) the wave function is infinite in extent, and (c) the wave function collapses to a discrete event _instantly_. And physicists don't like that.
