CLAIM: Discoveries in Classical Field theory have been FAR more important historically for our deep understanding of the physical world than Quantum theory. As late as 1986, this wasnât even that controversial of an observation.

Further, the theory of Geometric Quantization can be interpreted as saying that classical Hamiltonian systems are roughly *Self Quantizing*. Which is huge and rectified a huge oversight.

This should be reversed in my opinion. Perhaps we arenât making progress following the Quantum Fetishists with their [[Quantum Gravity]] that doesnât work. Â | This should be reversed in my opinion.

HERETICAL CLAIM: Classical Theory is FAR more important than the failed [[Quantum Gravity]] crowd understands. We would be much further ahead if we stopped the quantum fetish. The world *IS* quantum. But it is *also+ likely classical in a way that is equally if not more profound. We should split the field into quantum supremacists and mixed Quantum / Classical people and see if the second group doesnât outpace the fetishists within the first. | [[Claims|HERETICAL CLAIM]]: Classical Theory is FAR more important than the failed [[Quantum Gravity]] crowd understands.
