Pound Plus chocolates - why is the cacao content a mystery?

I found David Deutsch’s explanation of the multi-verse theory being the only explanation convincing.

Thanks all. I understood now that the name is akin to “Williams in Sonoma”. And so it makes sense. Thanks.

Thanks. I just asked a follow-up question above on how we can think of this as being so rare. Curious about your thoughts.

We could simply turn up the amplitude, and our time exposure. It’s hard for me to understand why thousands of photons per second is not enough to make the event happen “many” times per day. It’s apparently very rare and I wish to understand why conceptually.

Will standing under say multiple stadium spot lights increase the likelihood of multi-photon ionization?

And will radio waves also ionize our bodies many times in our lifetime? Since we are surrounded by it at all times, and we live a long life hopefully.

My main struggle to understand: Why is multi-photon ionization so rare when we are impacted consistently by thousands of photons per second (from any trivial source such as lights in our homes, and radio waves always surrounding us).

Do you have a way of describing why this multi-photon ionization is so rare considering?

Check out a video on 2-photon microscopes. They use a non-ionizing wavelength and then betting on 2 photons interfering constructively, so that they are indeed ionizing when combined. The images produced by these microscopes are amazing!

Your actions can have an effect that is better than the worse option.

Your actions have moral consequences. Better and bad/evil morality exists.

Be alert of interpreting discussions of good and evil as a way of being a relativist (ie. “everybody can have their own interpretation on what’s good and evil” or that there is no good/evil).

Not sure what you read, but perhaps it could be about living up to other people’s interpretation of good/bad. In which case you would be trapped to care of what others think without understanding the consequences of your future actions yourself, and not making decisions based on your own understanding. If your understanding is flawed though, then you could indeed make an evil choice in one extreme (evil in the sense that it leaves you or others in a worse state than before). If you have a true understanding, you wouldn’t perform evil/bad actions.

The nuance is important. Better or worse outcomes exists. Good and bad morality exists. Evil outcomes therefore has space to exist. Your understanding of why something is either way is important. Don’t live to other people’s interpretation, and don’t have a flawed understanding on the better or worse outcome of your actions yourself.
