However, that might lead to apparent paradoxes, as if they are not entitled to the opinion that people are not entitled to their opinion, does that mean that they would actually be entitled to their opinion? My guess is that this paradox would have to be resolved similarly to the grandfather paradox by invoking a Novikov self-consistency principle of opinions, namely that if you have the opinion that you are not entitled to your own opinion then the quantum probability of your actually having an opinion goes to zero. Either that or They're all a bunch of crazies. (We seem to be seeing a lot of those lately.)Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573106204390814039noreply@blogger.com
