Re:Biology Might Not Be Quantum, but Its Math Is Quantumlike

That's fair. Quantum is an extremely fragile state - any perturbance will collapse the field state into an observed classical physics value. This is why complex machinery and near absolute zero temperatures are required to maintain it. I guess 'quantumlike' just felt like an affront to the science of it all.

Quantumlike - what a dumb term, like "almost pregnant".

Re:Autism is genetic – and why this information matters now
on Thursday September 17, 2026 @10:08AM (#49741000)
> Until recently, ideas about what causes autism have been vague, and this sense of uncertainty has allowed misinformation to escalate. ... Autism is genetic. You’re born autistic and you’re autistic for life. Most autistic people are autistic because of genes they got from their parents. This is why autism often runs in families. Much less commonly, other factors can play a role, but usually in combination with genes from parents.
Psst, words like "most", "often", and "usually" aren't helping your "vague" problem.
