Greetings Economists, Andie Nachgeboren writes, Anyway this all gets into deep waters, and is kind of off the topic of economics.
Doyle, I don't agree with this. What one thinks about these things aside from philosophy and science, how we build the intellectual property is affected by such theories. For example, Andie Nachgeboren writes, The basic problem that QM poses for realism is this. Realism normally commits us to the idea that there is a world, in this case physical, that is independent of our minds. Doyle, That's dualistic formulation of realism. Reality is independent of mind. That assumption allows us to consider intellectual property as Hollywood would have us believe it to be. We can't assert a socialist realism in those terms. What are we to do with Quantum Computers then? Andie Nachgeboren writes, But the real point is that the natural interpretation of QM is antirealistic. Doyle, It does not follow that if I say reality is not independent of the mind that QM is antirealistic. thanks, Doyle
