dmb and all: Ron posted a section from chapter 12 of Lila, including this part:
"The question of whether an electron does a certain thing because it has to or because it wants to is completely irrelevant to the data of what the electron does." dmb said: The logic of the past reduces chemistry professors to atoms and, as you can see, the MOQ reverses that reductionism. [Krimel] "...whether an electron does a certain thing because it has to or because it wants to..." is only irrelevant if you are telling stories to children. Animism and anthropomorphism create the illusion of understanding without the messy work of thinking. It reduces complexity to simple acquaintance. It confuses mythos with logos. It is perfect for idealistic romantics because it makes them feel special and that's important to them.
