Quantum Entanglement Isnโ€™t All That Spooky After All.

This is a fucking terrible article โ€” even though I agree with it! It doesnโ€™t explain anything or really offer any reason why quantum entanglement isnโ€™t spooky. Itโ€™s just hand-waving without any depth.

QE isnโ€™t spooky because it just falls out of how the universe seems to work and itโ€™s obvious when you understand it. But it also is completely against our macro intuitions and means local reality isnโ€™t โ€œrealโ€ in a very meaningful sense. And that actually is a very odd (I wonโ€™t say โ€œspookyโ€) thing. This person couldโ€™ve done a lot better job of expanding on that but couldnโ€™t in service of making a poorly-reasoned point.

Terrible non-explanation for something that is in fact counterintuitive to our notions about how the universe works.
