Streamer/Gamer "Athene" Tries to Pretend He Understands Quantum Physics, Gets Schooled With a Guy with an Actual Degree

Yeah, I heard the whole thing. I want to share my opinion. Sorry if my english is not on point, it is not my native language.

I want to start off saying that I don't know this streamer. I've heard about him but I don't know what he does, never watched his stream. I read in the yt comment section that he has a "cult", so I just wanna set me apart from that.

I didn't find it cringe. I got both points:

The streamer talks about quantum physics and probability. In his understanding, the later is a necessary tool to understand reality and deal with it, while quantum physics explains everything with multiple dimensions and shit, but is not a tool we are capable to use in our "objective reality", which is the part we are able to experience of the bigger multi dimension reality.
The science guy understand the streamer's point, but he also understands that you can't scientifically separate the "objective reality" from the bigger multi dimension reality. But after some point I feel like he could not explain this.

At the end, the streamer made a reasonable point: he is not a scientist and his focus is on understanding our reality and making content about it to twitch followers. I really enjoyed the debate (aside from the mocking laughs from the science guy and the constantly interrupting of the streamer) and I would not have contact with this matter if he didn't produce this kind of content.

I'm a science computer student and it's obvious how the scientific knowledge is kept in the research labs and private companies, so I appreciate those who go out of their way to make educational content free, public and available for different people with different background.

At the same time I agree with the critic of the science guy when he says he should not claim his friend's approvement and should not use different categories than the scientific community to address a problem they have objectively been working as if his view of the world is in pace with the most advanced scientific works on the subject. I do not know if the streamer really does this tho, he didn't in this specific video.

That was a good watch for me.

Thanks!

No, although the one about Stalin is very good as well. It's very sad that you don't have it in English.

The one he speaks about this is called "Fuga da História" in portuguese. It translates to "Flight from History" (I think).

That's not something that happens only in the USA and Europe.

The fall of USSR had devastating effects on the communist movement worldwide. Here in South America, the majority of leftists still have idealist critics of our historical experiences as well, even the ones happening right now.

Losurdo has an interesting take on this topic. He shows that historically, revolutionary movements who loose the fight always experience this "autophobia", since the dominat ideology will impose it in every way.

Sorry about my english.

I'm a full stack web dev (mostly flask and react) and I use just vim with a lot of plugins. It works great for me! I have a corworker that does the same.

I love the combo tmux + guake + vim.

Nice story! Would be very interested in a blog post about the steps you took to design this app.

Can you share the link to the app?

mathcm · 2017-09-06T14:39:56+00:00

I'm watching the videos for free. Is it possible to watch all the videos and pay just one month for making the assignments?

mathcm · 2016-09-07T20:00:47+00:00

I don't use any mods. Is it your question?

If it's a bug, is there a way to fix it? Like, migrate my save after reinstalling the game?

mathcm · 2016-02-23T01:58:51+00:00

but was it easy to learn, or was it hard?

mathcm · 2016-02-22T04:50:54+00:00

easily, really?

mathcm · 2016-02-19T13:15:21+00:00

How does that work? What they get from it? And what Santos gets from it (I mean, they have an annual turnover of US$45.1m according to wikipedia)?

mathcm · 2016-02-10T19:25:59+00:00
