  • I mean I get what you’re saying but this seems super short sighted. There is good reason to not jump to quantum effects as an explanation for anything unknown. That said, dismissing evidence that suggests that the brain makes use of quantum effects because “quantum mysticism.” It frankly seems far more likely that immensely complicated that’s had billions of years to evolve, such as a brain, would make use of available phenomena even if it’s not something we understand. Note that I’m not suggesting magicy magic quantum physics is secretly magic, simply that mechanically there’s no reason why some parts of consciousness would not make use of quantum effects.







  • If they operate in the US, like they are at this very moment in Miami, they are supposed to follow US law. They don’t get some weird ass exception just cause the governing body is located elsewhere. Just like countries are free to ban cigarette advertising, the US does have the ability to say “you want to race here, follow our rules.”

    Think of it this way, McDonalds is an American company, but their UK subsidiary has to follow UK law, not American law. But if that UK franchisee wants to open a store in the US, they still have to follow US law. Does that make sense to you? The business that is operating in the US follows US advertising law, food safety law, employee protection law, environmental law, etc. Not JUST UK law.
