The word "devout" in this context threw me so hard.

Lmao

I think the point and the dumbness are in superposition

The message could be read as either

Kill him not, wait for me

Or

Kill him, not wait for me

It's a bit of a stretch to be honest

Schrödinger was also a devout pedophile and rapist

ohno

Kill him not, wait for me and I'll kill him.

That was probably me. A sign that I've saturated the fediverse with my rant and I should cool it.

Loved my psych professor. When we went over him she made it VERY clear that we were only doing so because he happened to be influential in the founding of modern psychology, but otherwise he was full of shit and a horrible person.

Edit: I'm an absolute dumbass and somehow mixed up Schrödinger and Freud.

...devout??

I said what I meant.

Moore describes Schrödinger having a 'Lolita complex'. He quotes from Schrödinger's diary from the time where he said that "men of strong, genuine intellectuality are immensely attracted only by women who, forming the very beginning of the intellectual series, are as nearly connected to the preferred springs of nature as they".

Schrödinger's Personal life

Including the follow up of someone questioning "devout" and getting that quote in response.

Still my first time seeing it. And as a physicist who wants to strive to improve my field we should know these things.

yuck. he apparently groomed a 14yo he was tutoring and eventually got her pregnant, and later preyed on a 12yo (per Wikipedia.)

never meet your heroes.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeshh

Commas cost extra, so it was commonplace to leave them out.

Are you perhaps thinking of someone else? As far as I'm aware, Schrödinger is only well known for work in particle physics, quantum mechanics, and related physics fields.

No, I think I am. I have somehow confused Schrödinger for Freud.

Wow. Brains be dumb sometimes.

oh its supposed to be interpreted two ways, I see thank you

I know the 'sch' can be a difficult phoneme for the Americans, but this variety is special

Freud was definitely influential, and definitely full of shit, so that tracks. Psychoanalysis is completely empirical, written as an unattackable dogma rather than science, and has been proven without any beneficial effect as a treatment on most psychological troubles. But because Freud was so influential, especially in France, almost all French psych universities are teaching his bullshit first and almost exclusively.

Also, the amount of shit he's written leads to modern day psychoanalysts with absolute horrors of diagnoses like "it's that kid's mother's fault that they have autism, because she loves them wrong".
