“The life of hope, then, is shot through with social influences at every level. We learn to formulate ideals in tandem with others. We pursue particular hopes, sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing, in the company of those we love. And as we develop habits of hope and the hopefulness which helps us weather our trials, we reach out to others, inspiring them, sharing our own hopes with them, and contributing our abilities as best we can to foster the growth of agency.” SometimesHelpingSocialGrowthAbilityLevelsCompanyFailingInfluenceParticularHabitSucceedShotsIdealsTrialsWeatherPursueAgencyReach OutContributingThose We LoveHopefulnessTandem Author:Patrick Shade

The general conclusion is that in quantum theory naive realism, although necessary at the level of observations, fails at the microscopic level.” ThinkingWorldWayWholeTermLevelsImpossibleFailingTheoryEverydayPhysicsConclusionObservationConsistentQuantumRealismProvenNaiveQuantum PhysicsCompatibleQuantum Theory Author:Ravi Gomatam
“If we fail to realize our full potential as human beings, we live more on an animalistic level. This is fine for dogs, cats, and chimpanzees but doesn't work quite so well for women and men.

“I'm imagining there's a particular audience out there that's younger and older, too. It works on two levels. Do they exist? I don't know. I had to make it to find out if it does.
