The individual electron just behaves randomly in a way that we can only predict statistically and not absolutely.
That’s the non-boring part, for lack of a better expression. Quantum Mechanics only predicts the outcome for an ensemble, and that imperfectly. It can say nothing at all about the outcome for a single particle.

Are you kidding? One of the big attractions of Trump is to prove the shittiest white man can beat a qualified black woman.

Legend is the first suicide hotline was created after a girl killed herself because she had her first period.
People kill themselves for lots of reasons, but some of those reasons are just ignorance. I feel certain any suicide hotline could have helped her out if she’d called one.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 3 months ago:
I can buy that. I live in the North West and this description doesn’t fit MAGA here.
He’s white, Christian, and male. That’s a about where the similarity ends.
He’s a professional making good money, drives a nice car has a nice family, never watched NASCAR or wrestling, doesn’t care about sports, went to college, comes from a line of immigrants who “made it” in America by the sweat of their own brow which is a source of pride, without even a tangential connection to slavery, and weirdest, hated Trump. He thought Trump was disgusting in 2015. Now won’t hear a bad word about him.

Exactly. If anything, the anti-trump media “bubbles” are going easy on the guy.

- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 3 months ago:
There’s some truth to this, but if you take the effort to break out of your media bubble, to find original sources, to read documentary evidence, indictments, transcripts.
To go the other direction and track down evidence for Trumps accusations against others,
the guy comes off even worse.

but this is just purely metaphysical.
But there really is an interference pattern. Whatever is happening is physical, not metaphysical, and is happening “through” or “because of” both slits at the same time.
Unless you’re trying to argue that the statistical behavior of electrons is somehow decoupled from the behavior or each individual electron, which would seem to me to be a very odd metaphysical position.

- Comment on Quantum physics 3 months ago:
You’re wrong, it’s definitely going through both slits at the same time, but it’s not an electron at that time.
