I was thinking op meant something like realizing everyone has their own take on NULL and none of them are really wrong or right.

  This is pretty close...although some can be correct, but correctness is not necessarily justified (such as when guessing what "is probably" true, which is why the J in JTB exists, and perhaps also because people like to take the T for free, as doing otherwise "is pedantic", which almost always has consensus agreement - reality domes don't maintain themselves!!).

    But where does the quantum come in? You don't need it to have/manipulate consensus. What are the "weird things"?

My thinking is here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_superposition https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_superposition > You don't need it to have/manipulate consensus. Right, it's obliviousness to (or ideological, indoctrinated denial of) the phenomenon of extra variables/state that enables the manipulation of consensus. (I'm looking at you, scientists.) Also, if these higher states did not exist, I'd think the problem might be either be impossible in the first place, or impossible to detect. (Noteworthy: having flawed methodologies can also make them impossible to detect.) > What are the "weird things"? Hallucination is the most obvious, but I would also say: just look around!
