Schrödinger hated this cat metaphor, he originally told it to highlight its absurdity.

However, Schrödinger was also a devout pedophile and rapist, so I take glee every time his cat is referenced. Fuck him.

Schrödinger was also a devout pedophile and rapist

Loved my psych professor. When we went over him she made it VERY clear that we were only doing so because he happened to be influential in the founding of modern psychology, but otherwise he was full of shit and a horrible person.

Edit: I'm an absolute dumbass and somehow mixed up Schrödinger and Freud.

Are you perhaps thinking of someone else? As far as I'm aware, Schrödinger is only well known for work in particle physics, quantum mechanics, and related physics fields.

I said what I meant.

Moore describes Schrödinger having a 'Lolita complex'. He quotes from Schrödinger's diary from the time where he said that "men of strong, genuine intellectuality are immensely attracted only by women who, forming the very beginning of the intellectual series, are as nearly connected to the preferred springs of nature as they".

yuck. he apparently groomed a 14yo he was tutoring and eventually got her pregnant, and later preyed on a 12yo (per Wikipedia.)

never meet your heroes.

I've seen this exact comment copied/pasted from elsewhere

[-] HalfAHero@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

That was probably me. A sign that I've saturated the fediverse with my rant and I should cool it.

[-] magiccupcake@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Still my first time seeing it. And as a physicist who wants to strive to improve my field we should know these things.

[-] lunarul@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Including the follow up of someone questioning "devout" and getting that quote in response.

[-] creamlike504@jlai.lu 4 points 6 months ago

The word "devout" in this context threw me so hard.
