Quantum Jumping Scam – Here are the problems with Quantum Jumping

Quantum Jumping Scam | The problem with the Quantum Jumping scam by Mike Bundrant. The problem with the Quantum Jumping scam begins with Ockham’s razor. This well-known philosophical concept brings Quantum Jumping to its knees, rendering it useless from the get go. There are a two other problems with Burt Goldman’s Quantum Jumping, as outlined below.

Quantum Jumping Scam Problem #1: Ockham’s Razor.

This well-known and accepted philosophical principle dictates that, given the explanations available for a given thing, the one that makes the fewest new assumptions is the best. Some people believe this means that the simplest explanation is the best, but this isn’t necessarily true. It’s the explanation that relies on well-known and tested facts, with the least speculation or untested theory. If what you already know is sufficient to explain something, why invent another explanation?

This spells trouble for Burt Goldman and Quantum Jumping. Burt claims to have visited parallel universes in order to acquire extraordinary artistic and entrepreneurial skills late in life. Ockham’s Razor asks, do we really need to visit infinite parallel universes to explain such a thing? The world is ripe with people who have multiple talents, great connections and gifts, as well as late blooming tendencies. Natural human talent, drive, and curiosity in THIS universe, on this lonely planet, is enough to account for Burt’s accomplishments. He’s a multi-talented guy. So is Paul McCartney. So is my retired neighbor. This world is FULL of multi-talented people who never jumped universes!

The same goes for all the proposed benefits of the Quantum Jumping scam. There are a thousand self-development programs out there that promise the same list of benefits – no quantum jump necessary. Why not simply employ NLP modeling strategies?

Quantum Jumping Scam Problem #2: Magical Thinking.

Magical thinking – the belief in fantasy over reality. Santa Claus brining gifts is an example of magical thinking. When we hold to fantastical beliefs of what will save us from the fact that life is difficult and requires a fair amount of struggle and suffering, we deny a large portion of reality.

Does the Quantum Jumping scam encourage magical thinking? Of course. Read their website. The suggestions of riches, talents, fame and fortune are obvious. How do you achieve those things? Pay the money and learn to jump into a new you! Magical. Forget the hard work, sacrifice and skill building. Just leap into the you that already succeeded in a parallel universe! Magical thinking. It’s a tough one to let go, but it is childish nonetheless.

Quantum Jumping Scam Problem #3. It’s a classic business.

All of the elements are there. The killer sales copy and list of benefits, implications of ease and an amazing life, pretended association with the great scientific minds of our time, affiliate programs, slashed prices and all kinds of high-level persuasion tactics to get the Internet surfer to bite.  No doubt, once you sign on, the up selling begins. This guy is cashing in online. It’s the most impressive part of Quantum Jumping.

I am not a cynic, just more of an M. Scott Peck (Life is difficult. Love and personal discipline are the best tools to find a degree of grace. Growth takes time, sacrifice, courage and maturity) kind-of-guy. Being open-minded, if anyone can present actual evidence of the efficacy of Quantum Jumping that is NOT better explained by simpler means, then I shall forever stand corrected and even become an Quantum Jumping affiliate!
