Hello Strange World!

Local Collapse of the wave function

That's me. That's all of us! That's all any of us are. That's the magnificence
of what we all are. For in that realization, it means that none of us are real without 
the other. This phlog then isn't real in a sense unless others read it. But no, that's 
now quite right either because the delayed decision experiment of quantum physics showed 
that if information exists about a system then the wave function collapses into a 
definite particle structure, having gone through one slit or the other. 

That's really quite astounding and I've been chasing quantum rabbits every since I 
understood it recently. Check it out if you dare, because it says that information alone 
collapses the wave function. So in that regard, by writing this phlog I exist whether or 
not anyone reads it. The infomation exists, therefore the wave of possibilities collapse 
into definiteness.

Anyway, I didn't mean that too literal anyway, because I'm mainly writing for myself. 
Because I feel like I have to. Because if I don't, something inside of me will come out 
like the alien scene in the first Alien movie. I NEED to get my thoughts onto "paper", if 
for no other reason than for my own edification. It is true that it is only by talking 
things out that we can ever truly understand ourselves, each other, or this crazy 
universe in which we find ourselves. Einstein talked about quantum physics quite a bit, 
but he was never quite able to come to terms with it, it was too paradigm shifting. 

I have a lot of jumbled thoughts in my head. Now a lot of it resides all throughout 
various of my ChatGPT threads, all haphazard like, kinda like how my brain works. ChatGPT 
helps me to organize my thoughts and figure out what the hell it is that I'M even talking 
about, but ultimately it's talking to a machine. None of it means anything unless shared. 
We can't ever forget that. 

Christopher McCandless, juste before he died in the Alaskan wilderness, wrote "Happiness 
isn't real unless shared." It's the same for everything in life. So that means it doesn't 
even matter if anyone ever reads anything I have to say. I'm sharing anyway and therefore 
I, too, exist. 

Why Gopher? Why here on SDF? Because I'm tired of the web as it currently is and I want 
my own space without ads or tracking of any kind. From now on I will own my spaces 
online, I will no longer allow myself to be the product of their massive machines meant 
to make those at the top even richer. I will not be monetized.
