And the gibberish machine just keeps on producing gibberish.

"the distinction between objects and processes is always contrived, and always misleading"

What the actual fuck.

Luckily, they use the FEP for their argument, so nobody will understand what they're actually saying.

Can't distinguish life from non-life. Can't distinguish process from object. And, certainly, these guys can't distinguish sense from nonsense...

@yoginho it's hard to get through to the actual "what do you mean" in that post. Is it something like Penrose's quantum mind theory?

@sharlatan

Here's the Levin/Fields routine (I've read some earlier stuff):

(1) reify your favorite formalism (FEP & quantum operators in this case).

(2) base some totally overhyped claims on that (e.g. particles have agency bcs of stationary action).

(3) Sell your deepities as depth.

Also: use obfuscatory technical jargon. Your minions will not understand what you're saying but it sounds great, so they'll love it and think you're a genius.

Rinse & repeat, over and over and over again.
