"What about Reality? Some say (in popular accounts) the electron is simultaneously both spin up and spin down. This is absurd, as Dyakonov highlights.
"Yes, quantum mechanics often defies intuition. But this concept shouldn’t be couched in such perplexing language. Instead, think of a vector positioned in the x-y plane and canted at 45 degrees to the x-axis. Somebody might say that this vector simultaneously points in both the x- and y-directions. That statement is true in some sense, but it’s not really a useful denoscription. Describing a qubit as being simultaneously in both [UP] and [DOWN] states is, in my view, similarly unhelpful. And yet, it’s become almost de rigueur for journalists to describe it as such. [I can’t get the arrow html to stick, so put in up and down.]
"That vector is a wonderful analogy, and it can be carried much further. About that, more another day."

Science Is Not The Answer
The Impossibilities Of Quantum Computing
Since we’ll soon be discussing cause in the Class, and nowhere is cause as difficult as it is in quantum mechanics, and because somebody recently reminded me of Scott Locklin’s lovely rant against the idea of quantum computing, I thought I’d use the subject…

"When I say Quantum Computing is a bullshit field, I don’t mean everything in the field is bullshit, though to first order, this appears to be approximately true. I don’t have a mathematical proof that Quantum Computing isn’t at least theoretically possible. I also do not have a mathematical proof that we can or can’t make the artificial bacteria of K. Eric Drexler’s nanotech fantasies. Yet, I know both fields are bullshit. Both fields involve forming new kinds of matter that we haven’t the slightest idea how to construct. Neither field has a sane ‘first step’ to make their large claims true."

🇮🇱🇮🇱 IDF sends enlistment notices to ultra-Orthodox Jews
In Israel, the recently appointed defense minister, Yisrael Katz on Friday gave the go-ahead for 7,000 draft notices to be sent to ultra-Orthodox Jews, also known as Haredim, calling them up for enlistment in the Israel Defense Forces. The move aims to “ease the burden on regular, career, and reserve soldiers,” a statement from the ministry said, adding that the military would provide support to the Haredim in “maintaining their religious lifestyle.”
The ultra-Orthodox population makes up more than 12% of the population and have lent crucial backing to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has promised them exemptions from military service. But Israel’s expanding wars have fueled demandsfrom across the domestic political spectrum for a change to the status quo, with the issue threatening to topple Netanyahu’s fragileruling coalition.
“Anyone required to enlist must receive an order. We are at war,” former army general Benny Gantz, said on X in a statement welcoming the move. Opposition leader Yair Lapid also offered his “respect” for the decision.

"The only people who you can comfortably share your emotions with are right wing extremists on the internet. Right wing extremists haven't succumbed to GloboHømo propaganda. They didn't post the George Floyd Black solidarity square on Instagram. They didn't pressure you to get vaccinated or post their doom juice card on social media for approval. They stand firm in their chosen set of principles and care about like minded men who do."

"I saw this one coming from miles away. Boys, especially straight, white ones who can’t claim any special status as a member of a “marginalized” or “oppressed” group, have been cast as the bad guys in the modern world, and they know it. They know that in truth they are the most marginalized group in America. This is what the entire “Barbie” movie was about: Ken finding liberation from his oppressive pink Longhouse, discovering how to be a “real man,” and then getting his wings clipped again by Boss Barbie who makes him take off his cool guy clothes and start dressing like a flamboyant gay man again."
