Corporations aren't people just because the law of a profoundly stupid country wants to pretend they are.
If a country declares that people of a certain ethnicity aren't legally people, I'm not gonna fucking acknowledge such idiocy because the law says so either. That's arguably a more extreme example, but it's the same principle. Nobody should be fucking okay with corporatations being labeled as people unless they're literally an evil corporate figurehead (I realize the "evil" in there is redundant) or the politicians who serve the corporations.

Schrodinger's thought experiment makes the point that a cat being simultaneously dead/alive is stupid and therefore there's aspects of physics involved that are not being understood.
Pop culture media constantly misrepresents this and frames it as if Schrodinger literally thought the cat is in a limbo state when the dude was saying such a thing is ridiculous.
It's one of my biggest pet peeves because Schrodinger basically was going "if we use your logic, look at this stupid cat in a box shit that we would get," and yet now people think Schrodinger held the very view that he was calling out as dumb.
