we really gotta think what we do with our time. Spending in on youtube tends to have lower value nowadays.
most stuff on youtube is crap. It's there to make you addicted, to make you watch ads, to make you miserable. Long story short: "influencers" are a drug on society comparable in effects to Crystal Meth. It gives you a short high, but leaves you exhausted.
most "content creators" really just practice, how to manipulate many people into listening to them. There's a lot of makeup, but not much really to say. Best thing is to not listen to them.
"content creators" are waaaaay to often just people trying to make money. They're not trying to tell you something of importance. They're jus trying to squeeze money out of you.
Problems on Youtube's side:
it's a centralized system with platform lock-in. "Related videos" never takes you to other platforms. Search query is intransparent. They ask for waaaay too much money for what it costs them to maintain and develop their systems. I see nothing at all honorable at trying to squeeze money from users.
Youtube has grown into yet another one corpo-speak garbage companies. They used to be respectable, making interesting recommendations, with a clear mission to make knowledge accessible to everyone. Nowadays, they just try to make money.
I use google maps regularly, and it mostly works fine.
However, google search engine (and youtube recommendations) have gone on a steeply downhill rollercoaster ride. Nowadays, I have difficulty researching even the most basic topics on Google, because it is so clustered with ads that I cannot tell anymore whether any website is genuine or trying to scam me.
We need a google that uses AI/ML to hunt and de-rank the 1800 word essay web pages that answer the question, “how long should you microwave a baked potato for?”
“In 1863, county cork in Ireland, Shamus O’Toole created the world first commercial potato farm. He’d go on to…”
Exactly what it feels like if I'm asked to "write an 700-word article" somehow. Most of it is just filler material, really.
I seriously mean it. Drive up to her and explain her why she is such a stupid person. I guess that you will feel better then. It's important to always be honest, and that includes sometimes saying difficult truths.
Yeah ok, I get your input. The point is, that most of the arguments, that say that QM is "unintuitive", boil down to the fact that some people are simply unwilling to accept that the world is "not made of particles".
Some people adhere to this worldview like to a religion. You cannot argue with religion. Therefore, for most people, there is little hope to come to terms with QM. However, I am saying, that if you "give up" on a particle worldview, then QM isn't so super weird as lots of people always make it seam.
Yeah, there's some strange issues going on. But I'm saying, that a lot of these aren't so mad to think about if you give up on your particle worldview. Coherence, for example, boils down to a system which isn't simply described by "that atom goes there and this atom goes here". It's different, but consistent. It still reveals a consistent model with a measurable outcome. Just that this model is like taking public transport instead of riding your own car. Sometimes, you gotta mix things up to see the bigger picture.
Actually, I think it's time to reveal, that to some people QM is actually pretty intuitive.
It's just that the masses and the news media don't understand it, so they assume that nobody does. The particle worldview is deeply ingrained into many people's brains, because it's deeply useful to them on a day-to-day basis. If you loosen that requirement, then there's literally nothing standing in your way to accept a wave-worldview.
