This is~~ the ~~rational equivalent of demanding~~ that ~~someone prove~~ that ~~UFO's don'texist!~~		The New Age mysticism has been having a joyride at the expense of the rational human mind. Again and again we are seeing statements to the effect that "Quantum Theory has proven that reason is a bust." We are being told that reality is stranger than we "can know" and that the pitifully weak and limited human mind is incapable of grasping the universe ''as'' ''it is''.
	~~Yet there remains one other model which does not condemn~~ reason and the ~~ramifications~~ of ~~this~~

			Then the mystics pull out books written by (a hush falls over the room) ''physicists''! These high priests of the super-religion of ''Science'' (spell this religion with a capital "S," please) state that there really isn't any "reality" (The Copenhagen Interpretation by Niels Bohr) or that reality is created by your mind alone (''Taking the Quantum Leap'' by Fred Wolf is an example of this view) or reality is a "oneness" and any other "observer" is merely an illusion (''The Tao of Physics'' by Fritjof Capra expounds on this interpretation) or there are many "realities" (so that each choice by any entity generates a universe for each possible choice) or "Quantum logic" (normal "logic" cannot understand reality and we need a "new" logic) or consciousness creates reality (as supported in ''The Fabric of the Universe'' by Denis Postle) or the duplex world of Heisenberg in which everything is an unreal potential until ''observed''.

			All of the above are models intended to explain in terms we can talk about, what Quantum Theory implies about reality. Each of the above models has one particularly serious problem. The problem is not over the question of whether or not Quantum Theory is true. A theory cannot technically be "true" anyway, only more or less ''useful''. Quantum Theory has proven itself to be ''very'' useful and while, eventually, it will undoubtedly give way to a better theory in the course of time, it remains a very useful theory. No, the difficulty with these models is that they all undercut the possibility of human knowledge. In other words, for any of the above models to be correct, we could never ''know'' that fact nor anything else for that matter!

			Knowledge relies upon reason as the non-contradictory identification of the facts of reality. If you undercut reason you cannot prove or disprove ''anything''! If you cannot validate or disprove anything to be true or false, existent or nonexistent, then it is impossible for you to have anything but opinion. Knowledge becomes impossible and only arbitrary assertions can be made. This error has been called "The Fallacy of the Stolen Concept" by psychologist Nathaniel Branden in his early work with the philosophy of Objectivism. In essence the "stolen concept" is the use of an idea to prove itself invalid ''or'' the use of any idea to prove that its conceptual origins are invalid. For example, if I used the concept of "red" to prove that "color" did not exist, it would be immediately obvious that what I was doing was irrational. In precisely the same way, when a physicist claims to be able to "prove" that reason isn't reliable, he is stealing the concept of reason to disprove reason! "Proving" something presupposes a proof based upon reason. In the realm of knowledge you ''cannot'' pull yourself up by your own bootstraps without falling on your face!!

			Beyond this inherent logical flaw, each of the above models denies that reason can handle the "reality" it postulates.

			The Copenhagen Interpretation is the worst in that it basically shrugs and says "What reality?" An anti-realist position makes a mockery of explanation and is, instead, a useless apology for not pursuing knowledge.

			The mind-reality model described by Wolf leaves us with a solipsism that undercuts the possibility of consciousness. If there is nothng separate from you to become conscious of, then consciousness is not present. To be conscious is, by definition, to be concious of ''something''. Capra's "oneness" leads to the same reason-undercutting conclusion as do the models of Postle, Heisenberg and Wolf.

			"Quantum Logic" confuses logic with subsets of particularized mathematical situations called, incorrectly, "logic" (suchas Boolean logic, for example). Reason is not just the particular way our human nervous system juggles concepts. Reason relies upon a means of identifying these concepts (and the experiences which underlie them) and then ''validating'' these concepts. The alternative to a logic which validated the facts of reality would be to use a logic which ''invalidated'' the facts of reality!

			Finally, the "many worlds" model reveals itself to be not so much an explanation as a failure to explain what reality is. Please understand that the "other realities" constantly being generated could never in any way have any information about each other to meet the needs of this theory. In other words, if this model of many realities ever did generate evidence to support it, it would be disproven! This is the rational equivalent of demanding that someone prove that UFO's ''don't'' exist!

			Yet there remains one other model which does not condemn reason and the ramifications of this model have far-reaching consequences for the serious Satanist. The author is Albert Einstein and the model is called Neorealism. Neorealists hold that the foundation of reality consists of "ordinary objects." They reject the need for reality, as we know it, breaking down when we examine the ultimate building blocks from which all the universe is composed. Neorealists belive that the proponents of the other seven quantum models are guilty of failing to distinguish between abstract extrapolation and the simplicity of every other aspect of reality thus far investigated. The Neorealist school is opposed to the "mystification" and obscurity seen most blatantly in the Copenhagen Interpretation. As Einstein explained it, "I still believe in the possibility of a model of reality -- that is, of a theory which represents things themselves and not merely the probability of their occurrence." Neorealism, in essence, holds that our familiar "common sense" view of reality can and will extend to the quantum level given time.

			What we ''do'' know, to date, concerning the implications of Neorealism is that due to Bell's Theorem (which is based strictly upon observation and thus is considered reliable) it must be possible for faster-than-light (FTL) communication to go on in our very real and objective universe. Whether this involves Rupert Sheldrake's hypothetical "morphic fields" or not, we do not know. What we do know is that of all the reality models of Quantum Theory only Neorealism meets ''all'' the known criteria and then additionally undercuts ''all'' of the mystical doctrines.

Perhaps you can guess this by considering the words of Prince Louis de Broglie who predicted the wave nature of matter and eventually abandoned the mystical models turning again to Neorealism. As he explained, "I realized that I had been seduced by the current fashion, and began to understand why I had been so uneasy whenever I tried to give a lucid account of the probability interpretation." The truly astounding thing about these other seven perspectives is that it does not require a degree in subatomic physics to uncover the hatred behind this need to invalidate the rational human mind. You have only to understand a few rudimentary concepts involving logic.

			The complete answer is simple for the Satanist to understand if we listen to the Satanist who formulated the Neorealism model: "The Heisenberg-Bohr tranquilizing philosophy -- or religion? -- is so delicately contrived that, for the time being, it provides a gentle pillow for the true believer from which he cannot very easily eb aroused. So let him lie there." So said Einstein and so he held to his dying day.

	~~by Peggy Nadramia~~		''The Adventures of Baron Munchausen'' (now on videocassette and cable movie channels).

	~~byNemo~~		Based upon what my German sister-in-law tells me are well-known children's stories, this film is a rollicking adventure that goes from the bottom of the sea to the moon itself. The Baron steps onto the stage of a little theatre that is presenting, oddly enough, "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen," and proceeds to make fantasy a reality. He has to save the city; it's being stormed by Turks. He teams up with the child protagonist, Sally, and they go off in a balloon made from the lacy underthings of all the generous ladies in town. The film is a visual hyperbole; the most outrageous claims to greatness and ability are instantly demonstrated to be true. The Baron even has a momentary dalliance with the most beautiful of women, Venus herself. There is a hilarious sequence involving the giant King of the Moon (played by Robin Williams in his inimitable style) and his wife; it seems they can take their heads off and get all intellectual, and mad at each other, while their bodies just keep doin' what comes naturally. This will be lost on the kiddies; they'll probably just thinks it's silly. But the rest of the film is (and I mean this) fun for the whole family. Director Terry Gilliam is at his best in the broad scope of a fantasy like this, and he lines up a superb cast, including Eric Idle, Oliver Reed, and John Neville.

			''Last Exit to Brooklyn''.

			Quite on the other hand, ''Last Exit'' interweaves several tales of life during the 1940's in an impoverished section of Brooklyn. This is indeed the City of Dreadful Night: we meet strikers, strike-breakers, rowdy boys who pimp for a young prostitute in order to roll her johns, the prostitute's idealistic sailor boyfriend who finally goes off to sea, a working class stiff and the chubby girl he knocks up, as well as a host of others living in quiet, and unquiet, desperation. Their stories are sad, paltry, but the filmmakers tell them in a style that is epic and somehow magnificent. The most interesting and tragic character is Harry Black, a typical working grunt who runs the union's strike headquarters, living off the fat of the land, distributing free beer and hoping the strike will go on forever. But something strange happens to Harry when a young gay man comes around looking for a friend of his, and Harry eventually gets drawn into a world of clever young homosexuals who smoke marijuana, dress up and go out on the town to their kind of places. Harry takes a lover, who later dumps him when the strike funds run out. In a drunken fit of sorrow and anger, Harry attempts contact with a young neighborhood boy who rats him out to the criminal roughnecks. Harry is beaten and left for dead, crucified to a an alleyway fence.

	~~Beyond this inherent logical flaw~~, ~~each of the above models denies that reason can handle the "reality" it postulates. -~~
	~~The Copenhagen Interpretation is~~ the ~~worst in that it basically shrugs and says "What reality?11 An anti-realist position makes a mockery~~ of ~~explanation and is~~, ~~instead, a useless apology for not pursuing knowledge.~~

If you're like me and tend to avoid action movies, or any movies with Bruce Willis, media hypester, you may have missed this one during its run in theatres and on cable TV. It's a great suspense thriller with the most clever, Satanic villains I've seen in a long time, and there's a stunt atop this office skyscraper you won't soon forget. Good fun.
