I was responding to a talk by philosopher of physics David Albert (DA), in which he expressed dissatisfaction with various approaches to reconciling the asymmetry of causation with fundamental physics. He was skeptical that causal models could help, but ended by inviting me to say more about this.

📸Quantum photo This photo was taken with a DIY dual pinhole lens. The holes are close enough to reproduce Young’s double-slit experiment, demonstrating #light wave-particle duality. Look closely at the sun on the top right to see the characteristic interference patterns. #Blueskyartshow

Black-and-white photo taken with a DIY dual pinhole lens, showing blurred boats and structures. In the top right corner, the sun appears with faint interference patterns, illustrating the wave-particle duality of light.

the rules for being a good naturalist are that if your explanation appeals to something that doesn't intuitively seem like ordinary physical contact between objects, it's magical bullshit, but physics is allowed to have whatever magical bullshit it wants and that's cool

How I know that I am bad at explaining ideas is that I sometimes tell people about en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-br... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introsp... and it fails to completely upend how they see themselves and others.

People often complain about companies' services, and sometimes understandably so. But to get an accurate view of this matter, it's important to zoom out. And if we do that, we see companies remarkably reliably providing goods and services - everything from basic food to travel to distant countries
