I took introductory lectures in physics and one prof would repeatedly state that quantum mechanics just cannot be understood, which was probably true for the scope of the audience, but still struck me as cringe-worthy. If I remember correctly that came up with wavefunction collapse, which is indeed just one model, that's begging for an explanation, and with fixed energy bands. The conclusion that there's a lot to memorize by heart is true nevertheless for any advanced science. Whereas, I'm currently hearing an introductory philosophy lecture and, while physics informs my view in large parts, it's mostly about knocking down misconceptions. The basic fundamentals, the first principles deriving conclusions, should be basic common knowledge. I don't actually need a mysterious slit experiment to be able to tell that my life, so to speek, is unpredictable, yet very regular, in the bigger picture. One common problem is language and there's almost no focus on that in physics education--if I may leave at least one lament--and since I can't say that the assembly of quantum states that is me is very likely to diverge, disentagle and grow decoherent ... philosophy still puts up with concepts like soul; or free will which is in the end not about inherent physical properties but just about regret and commitment.
