Yep. Computers are pretty good at putting together what are essentially mad-libs of random phrases stuffed together into barely-connected paragraphs. That such output matches the style of certain posters is not surprising to anyone who has been around here for a while, I'd imagine.

Love it!

Some have turned quantum woo into a career, such as Deepak Chopra, who often presents ill-defined concepts of quantum physics as proof for God and other magical thinking.
Chopra should make this the title of his next book;
QEDI am NOT Deepak Chopra and have no desire to bamboozle anyone.
Of course you don't, no more than Creationists have a desire to bamboozle anyone. They only want to impart the truth they know through faith to those too blinkered to see it. That the arguments they use turn out to be incorrect or at least without any sound evidence to support them nevertheless adds up to an effort to bamboozle their listeners, though that was never their intention (or I am willing to believe that of the majority of them, at any rate).
So I believer that you are sincere, but your arguments don't in fact seem to have any more substance that Deepak's, if you argue that using incorrect physics just as an analogy to indicate a purported greater reality.
At best it makes it a belief without any sound evidence rather than a hypothesis based on wrong evidence.
And before you start stiffing and blinding, I should point out that it doesn't impress that (so it seems) you initially denied that your physics was wrong at all and now you seem to be saying that it wasn't intended to be right but just an analogy of some sort of reality beyond physics.

I doubt neither Mystic's sincerity, nor that he 's sincerely wrong.
I've seen Deepak's enormous ego on full display in a number of disgusting ways, though, which make me doubt HIS sincerity and make me unwilling to equate Mystic the person with Deepak the person ... so to be clear, the analogy (ahem) here is between the beliefs and the rationale for them, not between the persons.
Why am I spending time on this forum when I could be out in the world selling woo to gullible "spiritual" folks?
Because you are an atheist and the truth is important?
