@DancingET ... I understand what you are saying. But I wouldn't call that "mechanistic." I would call that a prediction resisting on the concept of "locality." Quantum physics threw away the concept of locality most of all. It's important to understand how Newton changed the way we do physics--that is, he paved the way for "abstract" forces. Before Newton, this notion didn't exist in physics (Cartesian physics).
@DancingET These forces go against common sense mechanistic philosophy (as with Descartes) where all physical behavior is understood as a "gear-like mechanism." With Newtonian mechanics, we can understand physical behavior through "abstract objects."
@DancingET ... depends what you mean by "mechanistic." Many people do not believe what you just said. Newton actually destroyed the "mechanistic philosophy"---(Alan Turing came up with this concept, and it was furthered by Noam Chomsky). Newton was the first theorist to postulate "forces."
Newton had a mechanistic view of the world, where everything could be predicted i.e, You throw an apple, it falls down...A train travels from A to B in T amount of time ...etc..etc...Quantum physics threw all of that out of the window.
@lunaticist ...be careful with your words. Mechanistic Philosophy--in Alan Turing's Words--was murdered off with Newton....not Quantum Mechanics. When we talk about mechanistic we are really talking about Descartes' mechanistic world. Newton killed the Mechanistic world by explaining and predicting physical phenomena by the use of "forces"---an abstraction--an end to common sense in theoretical physics. Forces like gravity kill the conceptual basis for Descartes' mechanistic gear-like universe.

@RealityGameWorld Absolutely no proof of that whatsoever why would you bother believeing that?. I could just say, we are all living a lie.
Reality is fantasy
A devil made a fake world and gave us a fake mind
We are just living in his fake world.
Me saying this is just a sign of its truth!!!

no wonder people need the medication with a view of reality like that.
