the famous double-slit experiment proves that light travels both in individual particles called photons and also as a mathematical probability wave.
matter itself exhibits this particle-wave duality which allows objects to exist in two different places at the same time, depending on whether of not you are looking (testing) at it.
scientists have recently been able to get molecules as large as 2000 atoms to exhibit this duality!.
You are ignoring my reply because it gets to the core of your mistake.
The problem is you are equivocating about the word information.
In normal usage it involves one mind communicating data to another sentient being.
Then there is a technical sense if the word that is the subject of information theory.
You are making a category error. Until you address this you are doubling down in a basic error

I believe a materialist is one who upholds the credo of science - "If it cannot be measured it does not exist."
I've never encountered a single person who believes that. It is certainly not 'the credo if science'.

'Information' in this context is a metaphor. You are committing a category error.
Please define what you mean by 'materialists'. If you simply mean that there is no such thing as an omnipotent god holding the strings then count me in.

Equating and both-siding the two situations serves nobody
I didn't

It's very illegal. It's voter fraud and it undermines democracy. Would you approve of Biden supporters stealing other's votes?

I resent YOUR smug attitude (probably dripping with white, male privilege too) that my escape didn't have any suffering involved in it - Carmichael
'White, male privilege' is a myth. People who indulge in that sort of identity politics use it as a lazy way to attack their interlocutor rather than deal honestly with the topic of discussion.
I never at any time even suggested you did not suffer as a result of your time with the cult. Maybe you could read my comments more thoughtfully instead of resorting to ad hominem replies.

you can look in other threads here where you speak about people feeling they have to join religion after leaving the exJWs as a sort of crutch or something to that effect
No you can't and that is not my position.
In fact I have threads that extol the value of religion even if the content of the faith is not objectively true.
There are of course exJWs who are looking for something to fill the void, that is true. What I am railing against is the endless accusations by people on very side that exJWs they disagree with are behaving 'like a JW'. THAT is smug and lazy.
By the way, just for the record, I think Trump is unfit to be president (faced with the choice Americans have in November I would vote for him)

I really detest when people accuse exJWs who have suffered to escape the cult of behaving like a JW.
It is smug, lazy and cowardly. It ought to be taboo in an exJW community.
the most powerful love in the universe is unconditional love.. a love that has no requirements or conditions.
no actions are necessary to receive it.. this love is all around us and can be easily seen.
watch any mother with its new born baby.
We are spiritual beings having a physical experience
Prove it.

Of course a court can't tell anybody who to be polite to. That isn't the issue.
The practice of enforced shunning - including close family - might just be something a court can take action against.
The defense that JWs make their own personal decision to shun won't hold up to the most cursory examination.
The Closed Brethren got into some difficulty with the Charity Commission in the UK for similar policies.
