[my post] ....In fact, I'd just as soon fund wymyn's studies as quantum physics.

[to which you replied] Who's stopping you?

Actually, I already pay for both. So do you, if you're a taxpayer.

Through coercive taxation and overflowing government grants, I am forced to fund both wymyn's studies and quantum physics. All education should be privatized.

In my view, both departments--wymyn's studies and quantum physics--produce drivel of similar uselessness. Both contribute equally (i.e., nil) to the betterment of man.

On this, I am in full agreement with you.

Well, one out of two isn't bad. I agree that "wymyn's studies" and other PC claptrap is essentially useless garbage.

But QM on the other hand is extremely useful. Do you think we would have personal computers, the internet, and a myriad of other electronic devices and technologies if we did NOT study and understand QM?

If you do not like the results of quantum physics study, you are free to quit using your computer, telephone, microwave, and other electronic devices. You might want to reconsider using polarized sunglasses too. Above all, do not use any electricity produced in a nuclear plant. If you happen to become ill, do not use any computer designed drugs nor use pion beam therapy if you are unfortunate enough to have cancer.
