Sum over histories and relationships

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion explores the application of Feynman's "sum over histories" theory to romantic relationships, suggesting that pursuing multiple potential partners simultaneously can lead to emotional exhaustion and negative outcomes. The author experimented with this approach by attempting to engage with seven different girls at once, ultimately resulting in no successful connections. The conversation emphasizes the importance of mutual compatibility, respect, and genuine connection in relationships, rather than merely seeking the most successful outcome.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Feynman's "sum over histories" theory
  • Knowledge of relationship dynamics and emotional intelligence
  • Awareness of ethical considerations in dating
  • Familiarity with the impact of multi-partner dynamics on emotional well-being
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Feynman's theories in social contexts
  • Explore emotional intelligence strategies for relationship management
  • Study ethical non-monogamy and its effects on individuals
  • Investigate the psychological impact of pursuing multiple relationships
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for relationship coaches, psychologists, and individuals interested in understanding the complexities of modern dating and the psychological implications of pursuing multiple romantic connections.

Ok, everyone knows that according to Feynman's theory a subatomic particle traverses all paths from one point to another simultaneously. My idea is to apply this behavior to relationships. For example, given a choice between five girls each choice made invokes a different actual history out of all the potential histories. In the past I would have chosen one over the others, perhaps by flipping coins, but now I am experimenting with a new startegy, pursuing all histories simultaneously. I tried this method out tonight with seven different girls and unfortunately is seems that all histories canceled each other out; I went home empty handed.

You need to make sure no one sees you, and you don't interact with anything, or you will just exhibit particle-like behaviour and end up nowhere. So its best if you go naked and try to climb in through their windows.
 


The concept of "sum over histories" in physics is a fascinating one, and it's interesting to see it applied to relationships in this way. While it may seem like a novel idea to pursue all potential relationships simultaneously, it's important to remember that relationships involve real people with their own thoughts, feelings, and desires. It's not just about finding the "best" or most successful relationship, but also about mutual compatibility, respect, and genuine connection.

In addition, constantly pursuing multiple relationships at once can be emotionally exhausting and potentially harmful to those involved. It's important to consider the impact of our actions on others, and to approach relationships with care, honesty, and intentionality.

While it may be tempting to try out different strategies and experiment with different potential partners, it's important to also consider the importance of genuine connection and meaningful relationships. It's not just about the end result, but also the journey and the connections we make along the way.
