Can quantum physics help anarchism prevail?

[DividedandUnited]

I recently came across a video on youtube called "athene's theory for everything."

I'm going to re-watch the video to grow my understanding of the theories presented to garner more thought and knowledge into the field of quantum physics. Additionally, I'll look more into quantum physics itself.

The epilogue at the end is worth retyping and I hope others will watch the video to open the floor to some serious discussion and input.

Considering the topic is science and political I am not sure if this is located in the right part of the forums, please move it if need be.

The epilogue
"In quantum mechanics, we have learned to approach reality differently and see everything as probabilities instead of certainties. In a mathematical sense, anything is possible. As well as in science as in our daily lives, the extent to which we can calculate or figure out probabilities is determined by our intellectual capability to recognize patterns. The less biased we are, the clearer we can identify the patterns and base our actions on reasonable probabilities. Since it's in the very nature of our brain's left hemisphere to deny ideas that do not fit into our current paradigm, the more attached we are to a believe system, the less able we are to make conscious choices for ourselves. But by observing this process, we expand our awareness and enhance our free will.

It is said that wisdom comes with age, but with openness and skepticism, the key principles of the scientific method, we don't need decades of trial and error to sort out which of our convictions may be improbable. The question is not whether our beliefs are right or wrong, but whether or not being emotionally attached to them is more or less likely going to benefit us. There is no such thing as a free choice while being emotionally attached to a belief system."

I can't share the link as I don't have enough posts yet but you can find it on youtube by using "athene's theory of everything

Ideas, thoughts?

This is the video.

Generally if someone starts talking about a 'theory of everything' they've named after themselves it's a pretty damn safe bet they're a crackpot.

And to answer the question in the title. I'm going to go with an absolute and unwavering no.

While I agree with the general sentiment of the epilogue you posted, I would be wary of using quantum physics as a basis for keeping an open mind and questioning your assumptions and biases. If you are serious about learning more about quantum mechanics, then you will shortly find that many of the overarching generalizations made on behalf of certain observations in the field of quantum mechanics are simply misapplied. As for quantum physics helping anarchism prevail, my first inclination is to say that quantum physics has no greater or lesser likelihood to affect anarchism versus any other societal structure...but then I'm not entirely sure what it is that you're asking. Perhaps if you clarify your question a bit?

These generalisations being... ?

I believe those are the words of Athene the crackpot, not those of any actual scientists involved in quantum mechanics.

"In quantum mechanics, we have learned to approach reality differently and see everything as probabilities instead of certainties. In a mathematical sense, anything is possible."

I think what he means is "in a mathematical sense, anything is possible, within the strict limits of the mathematical theory of probability, which has been well established for centuries now".

Not as uplifting I guess...

Don't forget the dialectical theory of everything (concerning Meta-Genealogies of the Universe and of Its Sub-Universes) as developed by the foundation encyclopedia dialectica. You can't disprove the true meta-monadological, trans-dialectical science of the universe.
