Conclusion: QFT demonstrates that quantum properties can be physical without being observable. Thus, an underlying similarity in discourse could exist between homeopathy and quantum theory which could be useful for modelling the homeopathic process.

But the metaphor ain't new.
Daniel Coffeen, who taught rhetoric at UC Berkeley, often talks about everything being a remix. And as Beck sang, we all have two turntables and a microphone. His old lectures are available as podcasts.
And, things like Star Wars and Kill Bill are easy examples because they were intentionally copying.

Quite aside from the dearth of evidence that an armed bystander would make any difference at all, the idea that having more confused, scared people with guns would make anyone safer is... um... perplexing.
( , Sun 16 Dec 2012, 13:23, Reply)

if a crazed gunman is stood in a shopping centre, shooting randomly at screaming buystanders, simply walking up to him with a gun is enough to make him put the gun down, apologise for what he has done and ask Jebas for forgiveness.

This is impossible, they need to come at the from a different angle because millions of guns are never going to just "dissapear".

Put a law in so that any killing sprees have to be reported in the minimal way. Put down some really speific guidleines, get phychaitrists involved and sort it out.
If it stops even 1 spree its worth it.

it is probably more a desire to show that you have some power over a society you feel rejected by and powerless in, rather than just wanting to be famous (which seems a more trivial thing to someone's mental well-being).

If America wants fewer of these incidents it has a choice. Either try to reduce the number of mentally ill people or the number of automatic weapons.

real fuck the poor / mentally ill attitude, presumably the flip side of the american dream where people deny that luck plays any part in someone's social situation.
I'd put most of the blame on that.
Removing guns may remove ability to do a crime, but it doesn't remove the desire (or, in some cases, need to do crime to survive).

( , Sun 16 Dec 2012, 12:30, Reply)

As it's a public vote, Farah will inevitably win.
But in terms of actual achievement no one can touch Wiggins. He won the 2012 Paris–Nice, the 2012 Tour de Romandie, the 2012 Critérium du Dauphiné, the 2012 Tour de France and the time trial at the Olympics, receiving the Vélo d'Or award for best rider of the year. He is the only Britain to win the Tour de France in its 109 year history. He is the only person ever to win a grand tour and olympic gold in same year and has won seven Olympic medals, the most won by any British Olympian.
Farah's Gold is a walk in the park in comparison to the Tour alone. It's just a shame that a cyclist won it last year!

And after the TdF, I predicted that Wiggins'd get it. Maybe it's because I'm an ex-runner and I've got an inbuilt lean towards that, though, but I'd back Farah.
But - yeah. It's homeopathically close.
