Pick up any book on Quantum Mechanics.



I don’t think that’ll be relevant to what the article is discussing. It’s about group vs individual traditions. We can’t refute those points by waving quantum mechanics.


That's probably the only (if not most) unintuitive experimental knowledge we've come across, and we still don't have a good explanation for it today. No idea how that makes tradition "invariably wrong".


Using this as an example of "tradition being wrong" in the context of the linked article is literally peak autism on top of the fact that our "common sense" understanding of physical processes being wrong (is it even wrong at the level of abstraction we work on?) says nothing about our understanding of social phenomena.


> literally peak autism

Thanks. That completely invalidates everything I wrote.

Super effective technique you have there.


Way to skip past the last two-thirds of the sentence. Do you have anything meaningful to say or just wasting my time?


Anything meaningful I could say would just be interpreted as peak autism so I'm not interested in engaging, thanks.
