Im tired of the "quantum physics" posts on this sub
Its all just idealists or non materialists trying to force their world view

You think this is bad, you should check out r/consciousness. Even disregarding the admitted panpsychists, every discussion highlights and then centers around the "quantum eraser experiment", it seems. But it isn't surprising, since QM and the hard problem are the most vexing issues related to philosophy these days, so it (they, and their potential alignment/conflict) is what people want to talk about. Philosophy is all about explaining and professing world views. And I do believe I prefer the quantum physics posts to the more mundane but equally pointless rehashing of utilitarian ethics posts. And all that's left is esoteric and arcane plumbing of the depths of analytic logical positivism. 😉

Specifically idealists, I feel like there’s a whole cult of them on reddit lol
