You didn't read my original comment, then, since the whole point in my reply was to demonstrate that QM does not change the situation at all when it comes to the metaphysics, i.e. it does not have philosophical implications which classical mechanics did not have.
I don't know if your reading comprehension really is that poor or you are just intentionally misinterpreting what I stated.
No, I did not claim that materialism is being "intellectually honest" here, I claimed that the ones being intellectually honest are the ones who do not pretend like quantum mechanics supports their metaphysics, which includes materialists, at least not any more than classical physics did.
Sure, but Sagan's razor does, if you present your mystical claims without a shred of evidence.
You are incapable of being intellectually honest and want to desperately pretend that quantum physics proves idealism. I at least have the intellectual honesty to not pretend quantum mechanics is relevant to such questions of metaphysics.
