I took QM long ago. While researching independently, we found out that Heisenberg believed in magic (aka god). It was a huge shock to us students!

How could someone so smart, fall for such obvious bullshit? We asked the professor about it. He ended up doing a 30minute lecture on the tragedies of indoctrination and religion. He made it explicitly clear that even the smartest person could be brainwashed into bullshit if they stopped thinking critically or became dogmatic.

He also went over the argument from ignorance, and exactly how/why Heisenberg (+ a few other prominent scientists of the past) became trapped in objectively fallacious reasoning. It was very enlightening.

We went into that class thinking Heisenberg was a dumbass, but left feeling very sorry for him and religious people in general. Religion is like fucking disease, it rots your brain and destroys you reasoning ability. Every time I see religious people now, I feel great pitty. Poor guys.
