Well, I reckon that'd be no good at all. I like japes.

"Eradicate" is overly charged. I don't see any reason why ceremonies or cultural traditions would be erased by providing more scientific education to the masses.

The knowledge of our ancestors can still be taught, and traditions upheld without literally believing that there are dieties or ghosts or whatever.

I dunno, this just strikes me as the "veganism is flawed because indigenous people should be able to hunt" argument, but applied to religion.

A group that politely takes turns attacking the protagonist, instead of rudely overwhelming them all at once.

While this is true, this sentiment is sort of overcorrecting in the opposite direction imo, since these quantum algorithms have the potential to be insanely useful. Think accurately simulating particle interactions and understanding the fabric of the universe level of useful.

I don't blame people for not seeing the potential of quantum computing... but it's absolutely not just a grift. Computing on the atomic level like this is potentially one of the greatest achievements humankind can achieve. There's a reason China alone has invested over $50B in this technology.

Edit: I see what you're saying now... that the bros will fake or approximate quantum tech for investment.

Please elaborate.
