The big guy was my class teacher in Std 4. in ‘92 it was a busy year for him as next minute he was playing at the World Cup on tour after SA’s readmission, and so we had a substitute teacher during that time. When he got back we’d all be asking for his autograph while watching replays (of Jonty’s famous airborne dive) in the rec room.
It's not true that consciousness affects reality in this way. probabilities collapse at scale. The "observer effect" in quantum mechanics is better called the measurement problem or decoherence. It’s about irreversible interaction with a larger system, not minds.
At macroscopic scales, decoherence happens extremely rapidly (femtoseconds or faster) due to constant environmental interactions. That's why we don't see cats in superposition or macroscopic objects interfering with themselves.

This man makes an EXCELLENT point, and it’s a warning about Democrats like Zohran Mamdani
“With Nicolas Maduro falling is a good time to remind people that Venezuela became a heavily socialist country with Hugo Chávez in 1999. And a lot of people forget that when Hugo Chávez came into power, Hollywood movie stars and left-wing liberals like were just drooling over themselves about how great this was going to be, how Venezuela was going to show the world a way forward with socialism.
I mean, Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Kevin Spacey, you name it, Oliver Stone, Jesse Jackson, Jimmy Carter our old president, Susan Sarandon, just name after name was just drooling over Hugo Chávez and how great he was going to transform the world.
And yeah, he turned Venezuela into a shithole and Maduro just took what he handed him and continued that process times 10.
And so the Venezuelans even got to the point where they were eating their pets and like a third of them had to run away from their country just to find food. To put that into perspective, guys, that would be over 100 million people in America running away from America just to find something to eat. That’s how badly their country got screwed by socialism.
And all these famous people drooling over him. Does that sound familiar at all?
Does it kind of sound like Zohran Mamdani in New York? Yeah, it should, because the same thing is happening. Now, Zohran Mamdani, fortunately, doesn’t have a whole country to screw over. He just has a city, and
I’m kind of willing to let it burn because if they’re not gonna learn their lesson, they kind of get what they deserve”
