Kimbo's Lavatory -- Poo, Wee, But Not Both

[Fluidic Kimbo]

I need a volunteer for this and so I'll just pick one at random. . . I'll pick Test Monsterone.

So let's say that TM hasn't gone to the toilet in a few hours. So I agree with TM that he will go into the toilet, he will close the door and lock it, and then he will flip a coin. If the coin lands heads, he'll take a poo. If it lands tails, he'll do a wee.

The toilet has no windows, and it's soundproof. From the time that TM closes the door, I don't know if he'll do a No. 1 or a No. 2.

Now I wish to stress something here: My knowledge of what's going on in the toilet, or my lack of knowledge of what's going on in there, simply doesn't matter -- it doesn't change the situation.

I would be having a major breakdown in logic if I were to assume that TM is simultaneously defecating and urinating simply because he could be doing either of them. The truth is that TM is either pooing or weeing, and I just don't know which one it is.

And see this is why I have such a big problem with "Schrödinger's Cat". I think that Schrödinger's proposal is utterly idiotic, I don't think the cat is simultaneously dead and alive, and I think that such a proposal has as its basis a very Western concept: An addiction to explanations.

I'm not saying that Easterners don't ever try to explain things, but Westerners are stereotypically much worse for desperately seeking an explanation for something -- and if they can't find an explanation then they fabricate pure nonsense just in order to tick a box that says "I got this one".

In my example above, TM is either doing a poo or a wee and I don't know which one. That is the end of the analysis.

You should change your sig from “de facto” to “desperately seeking attention “

Obviously the notion of superpositions went over your head. And there is reason to believe that the idea of superpositions is true (from our perspective), since the double slit experiment's results tend to confirm it. You know where the photons act as waves which could be anywhere, until they're observed and then act as a particle going on a perfectly straight trajectory.

You really need to start taking your meds.

I couldn’t get past the part where you referred to it as a “poo” and a “wee”.

Come on Kimbo, you can do better then that

[Test Monsterone]

Kimbo, when it gets nice outside, go for a walk. You’re starting to lose it again.

True.

It's just a probability, until it's observed.

But, if test flushes, would kimbo ever know how it turned out?
