“process philosophy posits transient occasions of change or becoming as the only fundamental things of the ordinary everyday real world.”
I think you need to read more Daoist writings! It possesses that it is the transformation of yin into yang and back that creates everything in the world.
The discovery that the motion of matter is not the result of external dynamics, but the result of the action of things themselves. The mutual movement, growth and transformation of yin and yang in natural things contribute to the process of formation, development and decay. All things in nature, from the large celestial universe to microscopic particles and human cell, are in constant motion in their own yin and yang. This uniform law is the absolute law of motion of the universe as a whole.
Well, the new-age has swallowed quantum woo whole. It is a kind of religion or attempt at modern myth making, I suppose. More respectably, a number of eminent physicists have fallen hard for philosophical Hinduism and or certain strands of Buddhism. Bohr, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, and Bohm among them.

Just as literally millions of people (comprising most of the world's population as a percentage), have "fallen hard" for other major world religions, for centuries, I guess? Yeah, right, it's all "woo". /s
Now (for the sake of TDD), put your money where your mouth is: go to a hotbed of any of those major religions, and sound off with a megaphone about your opinions, just as you did here. Let the resulting fun begin.
I think it’s a healthy thing to read other’s opinions, even if you disagree with it. HN does a good job of keeping the trolls out.
Edit: FWIW I think you’re fighting the good fight and I wish I could implement something similar at work, in where I constantly have bots trying to login to my corporate VPN.

I like to think world class nits are picked here but you're right - this is one of the more rational neighborhoods.

I kludged some bash together to grep the logs and give me IP hit-counts and network owners. I next struggled to make decisions about the IPs - due to 1) the prevalence of residential proxies and 2) learning one of our widgets refreshes 3x/min.
At times, the destruction was also quite utilitarian. For example, if you destroyed a piece of agricultural equipment, and it took three months to get another one up from London, you and your chums had work for the season. That's an entirely rational course of action (though not necessarily the most effective or moral one).
The art of ninja as expounded upon by a master ninja. I mean, my brain says it's a joke, but it's so extensive and has books for sale.
The site is filled with gems, like this piece of advice on tailoring your training: "If I were in the Ring ... I'd have to regulate my diet and do a lot of running for stamina. When I'm a bouncer, I practice drinking and smoking."
Ashida Kim is a rabbit hole. He was very serious about being a Ninja. He also wrote a terrible book about all of his supposed sexual exploits. Real narcissist.
