claims ultimate certainty of QT and apparently now also law and morality as set by him
As anyone can clearly see upon accessing the 'Script' thread to which I presume you're referring, I simply quoted a Wikipedia article for all to see, indicating the portions that I thought strengthened my argument re. the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. And I've hardly claimed certainty regarding any topic, whether in this thread or anywhere. It is now apparent to me that:
A) You don't know what you're talking about.
B) You're a coward who, when challenged, finds refuge in other threads and resorts to petty jabs in order to nurse his internet butthurt.
Furthermore, my goal in presenting the legal complications above wasn't remotely analogous to the (entirely rhetorical) question I asked you in the 'Script' thread. The questions re. law textbooks and court documents weren't intended rhetorically nor sarcastically. I asked whether Rudy had read any documents like these because if he hadn't, my example would have fallen on deaf ears by no fault of his own. You, on the other hand, are the proverbial pot calling the kettle a pot. You issue statements of didactic certainty re. quantum theory (in which, by way of your dodge, I'm led to believe you've had no academic training) and get upset when I blithely challenge your opinions in plain English. Get over yourself.
P.S. - As a disclaimer and lest this become an issue down the road, I emphatically do not claim to have any formal scientific training/expertise of any kind.

You'll quickly see that you have used many personal attacks against me
People need to learn how to differentiate pride from hate.
But false pride can be nearly as reprehensible as hatred. Claiming "My race is superior to yours, but I like you anyway" is only slightly better than leaving out the last part.
Not necessarily. If I tell my g.f. " I am superior to you in math and physics, but I love you anyways." is that really so insulting or bigoted? a) It's true. b) It asserts no larger moral claims that say she is an inferior person over all, just that she can't derive or integrate. c) It makes a positive assertion that I indeed love her, which arguably is the only statement with real world implications.

good point.
Valid and sound argument. ... Even if you can show a statistical inferiority in some way in a race, it says nothing about an arbitrary individual, who must be assessed individually . That said, I firmly believe if you consider all confounding variables, all 'races' would be equal on any task. "Race" is a biologically meaningless term, hence there is no reason to expect different intrinsic differences of any significance in terms of ability to some task.The difference being that an individual assessment isn't the same as a broad generalization based on something like race or gender.
If you told your girlfriend that you were superior in math and physics because she is a woman, it would be a different scenario.
Oh shut the fuck up already. "False pride" has nothing to do with hatred. You're not the authority on what's false and what's true. My beliefs are very specific and I don't feel the need to explain them to you in here. If you're genuinely interested then you can PM me so long as you don't try your hardest to be a little smart-ass about it.

This all strems from individals taking credit for the achievements of their ancestors. Judging on an individual basis as has been stated is the only defensible point from which to judge. There are asians who are smarter than whites and blacks who are smarter than asians. At any given point the most intelligent person on the planet may belong to any given race.
Simply because your ancestors built rome invented bebop or first conceived homoerotic sex doesnt mean you have any right to a sense of entitlement.
