"Where does quantum uncertainty come from?"

Long--time readers know where I stand: give the points and bet on Big Al.

It’s true that we live in a quantum Universe, so it makes sense, intuitively, to ask whether there isn’t some sort of hidden variable underpinning all of this quantum “weirdness.” After all, many have philosophized over whether these quantum notions that this uncertainty is unavoidable is inherent, meaning that it’s an inextricable property of nature itself, or whether there’s an underlying cause that we simply haven’t been able to pinpoint. The latter approach, favored by many great minds throughout history (including Einstein), is commonly known as a hidden variables assumption.

Ed Driscoll at Instapundit collects some links that highlight 1) the utter incoherence of the administration's energy policy (see also Michael Shellenberger, "Why Biden's Attacks On Energy Are 'Absolutely Insane'"), and 2) the dopiness of this post's title statement

Note that 17 Nobel Laureates in Economics didn't cover themselves in glory either.

Because this agenda invests in long-term economic capacity and will enhance the ability of more Americans to participate productively in the economy, it will ease longer-term inflationary pressures.

Pro tips: 1) as noted here before, always give the points and bet on Big Al [Einstein] and 2) ditto for Uncle Miltie.
