I wouldn't judge Seth's paper without having read it because he's a very smart guy. But this popular article is wrong when it says, In the new story of the arrow of time, it is the loss of information through quantum entanglement, rather than a subjective lack of human knowledge, that drives a

Hi, A good sum up of the how and why cannabis might cure cancers. You can understand the mechanism and the probabilities. It is a pretty good movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bMt83_IWkE We knew this since 1974. Promising research on cancer treatment were purposefully broke down.

There's no loss of information (or increase of entropy) globally of course. This is all FAPP stuff (in the article, I'm not sure I would be able to understand the paper). “Entanglement builds up between the state of the coffee cup and the state of the room.” begs the question - builds up in one
