AG, your deflections are as transparent as ever. Let’s cut through the nonsense. 1. QM and randomness: You’re conflating different ideas. Quantum mechanics describes probabilistic outcomes within a framework where events still have causal structures. But in a single-history universe, probabilities without realized events are meaningless. Most probabliities do have realized outcomes. Take a lot at any slit diffraction pattern. AG You keep dodging the point: if something never happens, assigning it a probability is pointless. But most do. And some are so infrequent that we'd have to wait the lifetime of the universe to see them. AG his has nothing to do with QM’s randomness and everything to do with your inability to separate mathematical abstraction from physical reality. 2. "I try to avoid respondinong to your posts" Oh really? Your post history suggests otherwise. If you truly found my responses annoying, you’d stop engaging. Instead, you return like clockwork, complaining about “mind-reading” while making passive-aggressive psychoanalysis attempts of your own. I skipped a few of your recent posts. Now I will gone. Your persistent distortions are not my problem. AG 3. White Light Experience and Tao: This is a hard pivot from the discussion—classic AG move. If you want to talk about subjective experiences, that’s fine, but don’t pretend it validates your take on physics. And if you're using "Tao" as a shield against criticism, that’s just another distraction. You continue with your amateur psychoanalysis, creating self-serving spin where it doesn't exist. I was just curious, so I asked the question. Nothing to do about distractions. AG So what’s next? Another round of dodging, or will you actually address the argument?

Let’s address it point by point: 1. Clark's equation and "everything that can happen, must happen": This is a strawman. I never claimed that Clark’s equation implies "everything that can happen, must happen." My argument is about the absurdity of invoking probabilities in a single-history universe. If something never happens, its probability is effectively zero. Possibilities that lack causal influence on the single history are meaningless in this framework. *I sse. So they lack causal influence because you say so? QM asserts inherent randomness, which means no causality. I can't say I agree with this pov, but you seem oblivious to it. AG * 2. "Why do you bother reading my posts?": The same could be asked of you. You’re the one who insists on responding with snark and misdirection, all while complaining about others engaging with you. If you can’t handle criticism, perhaps stop inviting it with your constant, baseless objections. *I do try to avoid responding to your posts. Haven't you noticed? I find your mind-reading attempts annoying and misguided. AG * 3. "You alone are the cause of what you complain about": Classic projection. Your refusal to engage honestly, coupled with your endless backpedaling and trolling, is the source of these issues. If you’re tired of people pointing out your contradictions, maybe stop creating them. *More mind-reading. Can't waste time responding to your juvenile attempts at being a psychologist. I'm curious though. Did you read about my White Light Experience with any understanding, or are you one of fools who laugh at the Tao? AG * Your attempt to position yourself as some misunderstood intellectual is laughable. Engage with the ideas presented or don’t, but spare us the theatrics. You’re not Cassius, and this isn’t a Shakespearean tragedy—it’s just you wasting everyone’s time.

You say I’ve added nothing of substance, yet I’ve engaged in discussions about the absurdity of a single-history universe. If an event never happens in a single-history universe, its true probability is effectively zero. Invoking "possibilities" that will never exist and have no causal influence on this universe is meaningless and absurd. Yes, you posted what you claim, but it had no substance. You failed to address Clark's error that S's equation implies everything that can happen, MUST happen. This is nowhere in sight of what the equation implies, so clearly you can't see beyond your nose, and maybe not that far. AG Meanwhile, your contributions have amounted to circular arguments, misinterpretations of relativity, and endless ad hominem attacks. The fault, dear AG, lies not in others but in your inability to engage honestly with the ideas presented. If you so vehemently dislike my posts, why do you bother reading them? I don't compel you to do so, and I don't prevent you from posting. So I suggest that you cease causing problems for yourself, and be aware, as Cassius says, you alone are the cause of what you complain about.

Now that this list is deader than dead thanks to him and cosmin, please consider to let it die in the everything, it's a sad sad time, but this goes nowhere. Thanks There's a 4th possibility; that you have nothing of value to contribute to the MB. I am not preventing you from posting an interesting observation or question for members to ponder. The fact is YOU have nothing of substance to add to this list. It was in Shakespeare's *Julius Caesar* that Cassius opines to Brutus; "the fault dear Brutus is not in the stars, but ourselves."
