determinism was the greatest mental leap of the Enlightenment, and these fools just dropped it.

Just exactly because the Universe wasn't built off our vision, I don't understand what's with this modern uncertainty fappage. Ever since Heisenberg came up with his goddamned uncertainty principle, which applies to OBSERVATION, I repeat, OBSER-FUCKING-VATION, scientists started to circle-jerk to knowing nothing. Now we are back to the anthropocentrism of 5 centuries ago. It's funny how you mentioned the fact that the Earth revolves around the Sun and not otherwise as stupid humans thought, because now they are making the same mistake, only in a more scientific way. See Shrödinger's cat for an example. Some modern scientists will tell you that nothing exists or can be proven unless a human observes it. That, my dear gentlemen, is fucking ridiculous.
I think Einstein lost the battle for sanity in scientific trends, and now everybody is fapping to uncertainity and non-determinism. Determinism, above common sense, is simply the only possible way things can work. Non-determinism is not an issue because it's not common sense (many other well-known facts might contradict common sense too, such as the fact all forces act on a distance); non-determinism is an issue because IT'S FUCKING MAGIC! Anything goes! Woo! You can't call "anything goes" a law of Physics. Magic went that way *points to church*.
