I feel moved to write in support of Sam J.'s comments, at least as it tangentially pertains to physics, quantum mechanics, etc. I have observed that some people engage in a hobby that I call "getting your mind blown by physics." It might be a subset of the hobby of having sexual relations with science that is popular on facebook.

To achieve a basic understanding of quantum mechanics would take a moderately talented person about 10 years of mathematics studies and 2 years of dedicated physics studies, in a reasonably functional public school setting. You need arithmetic, geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and differential and integral calculus, as well as some early linear algebra, learning to work with matrices. Once you have a solid footing in algebra, you can begin the physics course and proceed simultaneously, saving the heavier physics until you have developed the math, starting with Newtonian laws of motion, simple harmonic motion, electro-magnetism, fluid dynamics and optics, and only then you can begin to appreciate the wave-particle duality of light, and then dig in to the subatomic particles and see what quantum physics is all about. Then you can try out the special theory of relativity (but not the general theory) and get an idea of what Einstein was talking about with that e=mc2 equation. All this can be done by high school graduation, again assuming a moderately talented kid and decent public school resources. I did it, it was fun. I did a little physics in college too, and I can tell you it gets a lot harder pretty quickly, right alongside the math.

Ok, what is the point of all this bragging? Around where I grew up, the drug of choice is cannabis, and some of these stoners like to sit around and say stuff like "It's all relative, and we are all like, made of star dust and shit." These are the people who like to get their minds blown by weed and physics, and like to make sweeping statements about what primitive people knew about quantum mechanics. I have read a bunch of your stuff on weapons, fighting and aggression, I think you put out great material and I feel well informed, but I am smart enough to know, as a girl who has never fought anyone but my pre-pubescent brothers, that I don't have anything to say on the topic. So it is with quantum mechanics. Out of all the things we might learn from North American Indians, quantum mechanics is not on the list. Physics, and the mathematics you need to understand physics, are virtually the sole intellectual labor of European men (and yes, European Jews). Tell me about hunting the buffalo, scalping your enemies, and carrying your babies around strapped to boards, but please, do not tell me about quantum mechanics.
