[ExI] Quantum Computing Discussion Groups?

[Dennis May]

Sorry I support deBB [de Brolie-Bohm]-like deterministic
QM theories.  The groups are what they are.

Dennis the discussion groups you seek are either alive or dead, but according to the Copenhagen interpretation, the groups are simultaneously alive and dead.  The Many Worlds interpretation has the universe branching: one universe exists in which the discussion group is alive, another parallel universe in which the group is dead.  If you are a Many Worlds type, your joining such a group steers our universe into the alive group branch, which is the universe I prefer.  If you are a Copenhagener, then your joining a dead group would remove the ambiguity, causing the quantum decoherence to collapse into a live group.
 
Therefore, rather than seeking a live quantum discussion group, it is your moral and ethical duty to intentionally join a dead group, for in that way you have saved an unknown number of lives.
