I’ve been on a quantum physics kick lately. Yes. I know what you’re thinking. “Great! Just what I need: another shark-eyed social scientists comparing his theories to quantum mechanics with the faint stink of a New Age guru!”
Yes, I see your point, but stick with me. Truth is, I’ve been caught up in the concept [...]
