Organizing Yudkowsky’s Intro to QM

OK, there have been so many posts in Eliezer Yudowsky’s introduction to quantum mechanics for the layman that if I don’t visit Overcoming Bias for a few days, I lose track. And there isn’t an easy way to keep track of them over there. So I’m posting them all in order here. I’ll update when new ones come up. I might also attempt to organise them into a tree-like structure, since not every post is a prerequisite for the posts after it.

Quantum Explanations: Why he decided to write the series.
Configurations and Amplitude: A warm-up with mirrors and detectors.
Joint Configurations: More mirrors and detectors.
Distinct Configurations: Why QM leads people to say crazy things about the consciousness and the universe.
Where Philosophy Meets Science: Why scientists doing foundational work can’t avoid philosophizing.
Can You Prove Two Particles Are Identical?
Classical Configuration Spaces: No quantum in this. Background preparation for the next post.
The Quantum Arena: How it differs from the Classical Arena. Hint: Consciousness is not involved.
Feynman Paths
No Individual Particles
Identity Isn’t In Specific Atoms
Three Dialogues on Identity
Decoherence
The So-Called Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Which Basis Is More Fundamental?
Where Physics Meets Experience: Easing us into Many-Worlds with a fable.
Where Experience Confuses Physicists
Quantum Orthodoxy: Robin Hanson interjects with some comments on MWI.
On Being Decoherent: Why we can see a particle in one place at one time.
The Conscious Sorites Paradox: “When” decoherence happens.
Decoherence is Pointless: More on the continuity of decoherence.
Decoherent Essences: Why we shouldn’t ‘interpret’ the formalism.
The Born Probabilities: Problems with them.
Decoherence as Projection: Fun with polarizers.
Entangled Photons: Alice and Bob.
Bell’s Theorem: No EPR “Reality”: I really, really like this explanation of Bell’s Theorem.
Spooky Action at a Distance: The No-Communication Theorem
Decoherence is Simple: Why MWI does not violate Occam’s Razor.
Decoherence is Falsifiable and Testable: I think there are serious philosophical problems with this post and the next.
Quantum Non-Realism: Against it.
Collapse Postulates: “WHAT DOES THE GOD-DAMNED COLLAPSE POSTULATE HAVE TO DO FOR PHYSICISTS TO REJECT IT? KILL A GOD-DAMNED PUPPY?”
If Many-Worlds Had Come First: An alternate history of QM.
Many Worlds, One Best Guess
The Failures of Eld Science: Why MWI did not come first.
The Dilemma: Science or Bayes?
Science Doesn’t Trust Your Rationality: MWI and libertarianism. In response to Scott Aaronson.
When Science Can’t Help: More Bayes than QM in this.
Science Isn’t Strict Enough: Huge dose of Whig history of science in this.
Do Scientists Already Know This Stuff?: We’ve moved from QM into some rather flaky philosophy of science now.
