I just don't understand any kind of absolute egalitarianism philosophy. Whether it's branded as anarcho-capitalism or straight anarchism or sockfucking libertarianism, it always misses the same point.

I actually formulated a law about that.

"On any Pagan board, the hotness of a woman's avatar is inversely proportional to the hotness of the actual woman."
- Roger's Third Law of Paganism.

for the men:

"A male pagan's commitment to paganism is directly proportional to their conservativism."
- Roger's Fourth Law of Paganism.
" It's just that Depeche Mode were a bunch of optimistic loveburgers."
- TGRR, shaming himself forever, 7/8/2017

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

it doesn't even have a precise location until a measurement event, and it likewise doesn't have a precise momentum until a measurement event.

I've heard/read that before, but how was such a thing found out?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem

People used to be split among three camps:
a) Particles don't have a position before they're measured (which is counterintuitive)
b) They do, we just don't know where that position is (which means QP is incomplete, since it can't tell us where)
c) Asking what the state of something is before it was measured is moronic, since it's completely untestable and therefore unscientific - by definition you can't know what an unmeasured quantity is.

Then Mr. Bell came along and showed that it made a testable difference whether a) or b) was correct, which immediately threw out c).  Later, the experiment he proposed gave really good evidence for a).
Q: How regularly do you hire 8th graders?
A: We have hired a number of FORMER 8th graders.
