Correct. We know, on a galactic scale, that we can be observing a star that is actually going supernova now, and we won't know it happened for many years.


On a micro scale, it just means our consciousness can never exist in, or register, the present state of the actual world.


Heisenberg noted the act of observation changes the nature of observed particles, but there's 2 things going on at the same time that make this true. You can think of the act of observation analogous to active sonar pinging, but if the pinging were instant, there would be no change observed in the particle, even though the particle is definitely altered. But... Because there's a time delay, it absolutely makes a difference between the observed state and the actual state of a particle, which makes true observation of the present state of a particle impossible.

Shoresy
If you are measuring change, you need two reference points, wouldn't T=0 just represent "no time".

absolutely not, the number line extends infinitely in both directions; it does not end at zero.


zero is a common mathematical point indicating present time. You took physics in high school, right?

nearly all the textbook primers use this standard for the introduction into motion equations.

And Kamala had ample opportunity to separate herself from party failures. The in-the-pocket show "The View" practically begged on hands and knees to slam dunk the ball, and she flubbed. Did she just not get the memo?

Shoresy

I guess that's why the assassin got killed on the White House lawn, he was just following team rules.


Shoresy
Which it isn't.


Oh, it most certainly is. Cuba is a great example of when the non - working wolves take over "democratically"


It's certainly not natural.


It's the reason why the opposite of anarchy never prevails. Free isn't freedom

Shoresy
and like it or not society always naturally divides into the workers and the management.


No, it doesn't, at least not in 2026.


In 2026, society is artificially divided between the producing and working sheep and the non-working and non-producing wolves, voting for the non-producing government to shear every sheep for "equality".

Shoresy
Which in essence is no different to a private organisation controlling the supply of goods


That's also a contradiction. Authoritative bodies control the supply of production. Private organizations control the production of supplies.

Every one of New York's "government-owned grocery stores" will have the shelves stocked through force and fear. The government has not, and will never be, a producer of anything but fear and control. The government has never been a true producer of wealth or goods. Its primary instruments are authority, enforcement, and control.

Shoresy

Yep, that's going to be the future of New York.


equality and freedom


This is the actual contradiction, because USA never limits equality to the application of authority.

Shoresy

There's nothing "not communist" about a government-owned supermarket.


Which is a somewhat nicer variation on the same theme of hierarchical order.


Yes, a nicer sounding form of oppression and lack of personal liberty.

Shoresy
Such is the American psyche...Continually sold the unachievable dream


The Chinese don't even have a government as ambitious as New York communism.


Government-owned grocery stores, expanded public/social housing through a government development authority, publicly funded universal childcare expansion, free city bus expansion through subsidies, support for public banking, greater public ownership/control of utilities and healthcare, and broader city-directed economic intervention in housing and essential services.


Lmao @ "land of the free"

They took the word free and corrupted it beyond all rationale.

That's what really happened to the American Dream


There are zero liberals left in America. American culture slowly took the phrase "Freedom isn't Free" and reversed it to;


"Free isn't Freedom"


and of course a large proportion of Americans, and not just white European Americans are too dim witted to understand.

That is certainly true. When you enter the country illegally, on the premise that you can sacrifice every last shred of personal liberty for welfare, you are probably too dim-witted to know it's an unsustainable system.

I don't know why the UK even voted for Brexit when they just allowed anyone from all over the globe to establish foreign tribes in your country anyway.


Wasn't Brexit supposed to give your country the authority to preserve its culture and country? Seems like a waste.

Shoresy
Plus that basket of deplorables comment by hillary really was uncalled for. It hurt the feelings of trumps base. and was too toxic compared to our dear leaders clean record on the point of insults


Yah, a basket of communists is a far worse insult.

Shoresy
Mark Cuban...


Sadly, he is MAGA


who believe in democracy


Good luck destroying your Constitution to create a democracy. It will be fun to see the USA destroy itself with popular whim rule as they vote in tyranny.


James Madison and Alexander Hamilton and Jefferson, who founded American liberalism, will certainly approve.

Shoresy
Are there no suitably intelligent articulate B Shitting Democrats available?...With the available funds of course.


Nearly all of the leading hopefuls are highly educated individuals. The problem isn't the people, it's the content matter.


Selling far-left communism in America is hard, no matter how intelligent you are.

Shoresy

It's just weaker fascists fighting for power from the stronger fascists. That's all.


That ideological war was lost long ago.

Large modern states, regardless of branding, naturally accumulate administrative power, economic influence, national mythology, and behavioral control.

It's inevitable that liberalism would die. People forget what it's like to be free.

Shoresy

As I said, there are no liberals left in your country. They have all been converted to accept government control over everything.

Shoresy

Cool! Your country actually needs a 1776-style revolt since it's knee deep in fascism right now.


There are no liberals left in your country to feed the tree of liberty with their blood, though.
