is there anything more disappointing than how insistent people are on describing QM as "weird" and "we just can't understand it"

Like fuck what is so "weird" and "we can't understand it" about a fucking probability? why is probability "hard"? it's a fucking ratio.

or entanglement. wow holy fuck if you collapse one you know the state of the other even if they're a million lightyears apart... HOW SPOOKY!!???

...Like there aren't things that have the same properties and respond in the exact same when when acted upon by a force. Like seriously just think logically about what you're assuming when you're saying something like that.

When you say entanglement is "weird" what you're saying is that EVERYTHING is fucking different and everything responds differently when you apply a force to it and it's impossible to know how two things respond to a force unless they're close together. How stupid of a fucking assumption is that? Like what the fuck? What does distance between two objects have to do with knowing their displacement if you already know you're applying the same force to both of them? What the fuck? What kind of a clown world assumption is that?

god fuck i hate everyone. Why do we have to constantly pretend this shit is weird and then repeat ad nauseam all this illogical bullshit as if anyone with a brain actually thinks this shit privately.

Do physicists actually think probability is weird? Why? I've literally never had a problem understanding probability. Not once did I ever think it was weird. This is some cooked up polite lie bullshit that everyone does because people are SO self conscious and no one wants to hurt anyone elses feelings and now we're caught in this vicious meme cycle of constantly repeating the same tired cliches of "wow it's so weird I don't get it."

When will it fucking end?
