It's not simultaneously alive or dead. It is the presumption that it can be either alive or dead and that you do not know until you observe.

Sometimes the phraseology is hard to deal with. Bumfuzzles me a lot.

No matter what language you use, individuality is the flavour of the century.

If you are tuned into the zeitgeist through movies, literature education, music, one's seperateness from others is how we define ourselves:).

I don't believe in this doctrine, I believe that thinking itself is a highly socialized experience. What we think, we do to please others and be accepted by others. But in autism that process becomes confused, and the social thinker becomes the free thinker, by accident.

I had to look up zeitgeist.
Seems as it's tied to to a particular place in time.
Would term Old Soul apply?

me.... Still too old to know it all

According to my understanding, "old soul" and "zeitgeist" are opposite meanings.

I found that one funny because they used Anthony Weiner as an example. For that to have worked there would have to be no connection between his personal judgement and his professional judgement.

If a person would do the things he did, then I assume he would be as careless with sensitive information as well. The person's ideas may be good, but, can he be trusted to carry out other duties that do not involve his ideas, but rather his full judgement.

Hillary Clinton would be a good example. The current email business is an example of bad judgement because of the following reason:
1) Her argument is it was done the way it was always done. This does not fly as we are in an ever changing technical environment. Hacking has been a proven problem with governmental resources by way of hacking into sensitive areas of information. This has been an ever growing problem for years now. Putting any sensitive information on a server that is not fully protected and secured from such dangers to the fullest extent possible is just not smart.

So, her ideas are good, but her judgement is not it seems.

Or, maybe I'm just wrong.

It's a thought experiment to illustrate the absurdity of some ideas about quantum mechanics. It doesn't make sense on purpose.

I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to view my thread. It is really inspiring because I am very isolated right now. Some people have the right idea and are coming up with examples of there own. I would like to encourage other people to share their own findings and experinces as well.

Why do you feel isolated right now? Having difficulty sharing your hot topic of the hour "fallacies" in the physical world?

Please don't take that as an insult I'm just very direct in the way that I describe things.

I am isolated by my current circumstances in life. It is a very long story and I do not want to break up the flow of this thread. I will send you a private message. I will also post it in biography section of my profile for those who are interested.
