Okay, Lots of new articles

Medium.com - Deeper Than Quantum Mechanics—David Deutsch’s New Theory of Reality. I love quantum physics because it makes fools of all of our beliefs. The basic theory of quantum physics is that on a sub atomic level the rules change, gravity ceases to follow the same rules, time ceases to follow the same rules and the speed of light ceases to be a limiting factor. The problem for scientists is that they cannot figure out what rules do apply and why. Mr. Deutsch has postulated that "In other words, the laws of physics do not tell you what is possible and impossible, they are the result of what is possible and impossible. So reasoning about the physical transformations that are possible and impossible leads to the laws of physics."

He sort of punks out. It is double speak and still misses the point. Mr. Deutsch believes that physicality creates information, that is sort of the basic thought he is promoting. In fact, information, sentience, creates physicality. Without consciousness there is no "reality". One of the most fundamental statements in philosophy is, "I think therefore I am". Science wishes to prove that "I am therefore I think"; but, many things exist that do not think. There beginning premise is wrong.

Yahoo - AP - House nearing vote on 1-year package of tax breaks. I like the misleading nature of this article, we are all going to get tax breaks. No, read the next article.

Yahoo - AFP - US House votes to extend dozens of tax breaks. Republicans are voting to give $500 Billion in tax breaks to corporations, including those that give up Unites States citizenship, and eliminate tax breaks for child care.

Huffington Post - GOP: Thanks for Electing Us, and Screw You. This article will give you the detail on who wins and loses on tax breaks in the end.
