Which one?

I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill, my share of loosing. And now, as tears subside I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that, and may I say, not in a shy way.

For what is a man, what has he got, if not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Love is the law, love under will.

I'm sorry but this shit has to end! NFTs are valuable monetary tools but shit like this makes it hard for people to take the concept seriously.

In all honesty I'm not sure I'd give the Lobster a second thought.

P.S. Sorry @surasanji the genocide of lobsters is no laughing matter.

More detail on the non-causality poll...

I'd expect adherents to quantum mechanics to choose "sometimes".

Since QM appears to introduce uncertainty (probabilistic) in place of causality (deterministic) (i.e., it moves from certainty toward randomness), I don't see why a deeper dive couldn't move entirely to randomness (non-causality).

Non-causality appears to be a generalization of nonlocality (or perhaps complimentary to it).

Because of the results of the Bell test experiments, there appears to be renewed interest in explicit theories of nonlocality (e.g., extentions of de Broglie–Bohm theory) to make QM more palatable.

I think the development of a construct for a non-causal extent with causality emergent at macroscopic levels (or emergent at the quantum/macro interface) could serve the same purpose, but I haven't been able to find anything on that.

*** Does anybody know of anyone who is working on that? ***

Here are some more hashtags to cast the net a bit wider. (feel free to comment even after the poll is complete):

Is causality an emergent phenomenon?

The sign above the gates to the fediverse read "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate"

@freemo

I sometimes use the dash. And occasionally use space (next to space, before time), but that's at times when I'm spaced.
