Quantum Entanglement/Entrepreneur Connections + Broader Quantum Culture
A fun quantum entanglement artical for something a little more lighthearted to finish out the year-it includes many interesting real world examples/applications of how quantum thinking can be broadly applied to many areas. As one moves away from the hard science it becomes not so tightly considered as before..... Nevertheless having previously outlined the hard bedrock of this worldview- I feel it's important to pause here on a piece of less rigorous but sweeping writing that shows how quantum, non CCP based thinking (causal closure physics) can be more broadly applied to a wider range of science, entrepreneurship, philosophy, culture, even art and music etc. I'm trying to show all of these woven together in my posts. There is a whole cultural cult of thought forming around this sort of "quantum" philosophy that is very distinct from either classic analytic or the transcendental/postmodernism view.
Its a surprisingly active cultural view in the entrepreneurship community where the strange opposites of the entrepreneurial neurodivergent transpersonal individual are considered important qualities of the potentially successful entrepreneur. Peter Thiel ( who helped found paypal with Elon Musk years ago) discusses here his ideas on the weird opposites of the entrepreneur. The idea is that seemingly condradictory complexities combine to create the necessary horsepower ( like a superpositioned qubit) to complete a complex task oriented around change, problem solving and future predictions (entrepreneurship).
The "Paypal" mafia- both Peter Thiel and Elon got their start trying to change how money/payments work via the internet and actually had two separate startups that merged. It's important to understand that this community is not merely a group of random weirdos, but in fact is interconnected. They have alot of similar view
