Pushing a Snake Up a Hill: The Cat’s Still Alive (and Dead)! — Schrödinger Sessions
http://starrigger.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-cats-still-alive-and-dead.html
Pushing a Snake Up a Hill. And other metaphors for life). Sunday, August 02, 2015. The Cat’s Still Alive (and Dead)! Not really Schrödinger's cat, but she is in a box. I’ve just come back from an incredible weekend at the Schrödinger Sessions: Science for Science Fiction. Here are some of the things we learned from Chad Orzel. How to become quantum (which only works if you are very small, much smaller even than I was when I was at my low weight). Equipment that does just that.). That probability is not a...

183; r e j i q u a r · w o r k s ·. The various and sundry creations of sylvus tarn. Ooooh, more controversy:). A post by scicurious, about favorite versus ‘good’. How she feels. Being smarter and more disciplined than I am, she banged her head against this wall far longer than I have; I couldn't stand the amoral people in. And gave it up. The biggest thrill of. Tess of the d'Ubervilles. Besides the admittedly fascinating bits about dairying—being a milkmaid was hard work! And they were ok. In particular...

Simple question, complicated answer: April 2009
http://quackdamnyou.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Simple question, complicated answer. Monday, April 20, 2009. An open letter to medical marjiana supporters. Dear medical marijuana supporters,. I'd like to identify a serious problem with the framing of the current discussion around marijuana legalization. However there is a problem. If marijuana is medicine, then why do so many people consume it for pleasure? Should we allow any medicine to be sold at the corner store? Where do we draw the line? Thursday, April 2, 2009. Immediately I was floored by the ...

Secular Fatherhood: July 2011
http://secularfatherhood.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 8, 2011. Where our idea of causation goes wrong or playing dice with the universe. I am going to argue that quantum mechanics undermines our intuitive understanding of causality. Where someone begins a debate about the existence or non-existence of something and they make an appeal to quantum mechanics. To back up that claim. You should immediately start waving a red flag and telling them to hold up. So, I'm not going to go into this without seriously backing up my claims. The implications o...

Words You want 'em. I've got 'em. Hitting the ground running, but not in any particularly desirable direction. Yep Back, as I said, from the Schrodinger sessions. And now also back at the day job. With various forms of job and non-job crap hitting various fans located at especially inconvenient intervals, and requiring immediate attention or emails or unavoidable hair-tearing. I can’t, yet, do a full write-up of the Schrodinger sessions…. Does not work on people. This was especially tricky…. I made it in...

Secular Fatherhood: June 2011
http://secularfatherhood.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 5, 2011. Craig's Kalam Cosmological Argument, Pt. 2. I am cross-posting this from some discussions elsewhere. I'll go back and edit it for quality later. I'm going to structure these one objection at a time and label them for the benefit of both of us. Objection 1: Our intuitions can't be relied upon for this discussion. It becomes impossible for us to rely upon our intuitions about these events because our intuitions have always been wrong. Wave-particle duality is just the crack in the...
