I really haven't met one who was like, yeah, we looked into it and nothing was there.

They all come out being like, your mind does have cohort-wide, or across various cohorts rather, across lots and lots of experiments, a weak but statistically significant effect.

And so then you get into, is the mind engaging in some sort of wave function collapse?

Are you rendering reality itself?

Is what you're seeing actually a render of something in the objective material world?

Either that or you're shooting some unobtainium particle, you know, fake photon we haven't discovered out at the thing and collapsing it.

I don't think that's happening.

So I think it's something that points more towards the Penrose orchestrated objective reduction, where you're collapsing reality with your mind or whatever, and you're rendering what seems to be a sort of computation.

And this would dovetail with...

you know, information theory based physics, which again, like people like John Wheeler flirted with, with, you know, it from bit and the idea that, you know, wave function collapse basically is like a bunch of yes, no questions from like, what seems to be like, you know, binary code, like, you know, almost like transistor, like, you know, activity is creating reality.

And so that, so this is a really long winded answer to your question, but it's like,

that would explain everybody's reality being weird and subjectively extremely idiosyncratic and would explain air pockets of consensus reality.

And it would explain Mandela effects.

And, you know, there's a Schrodinger quote about, you know, measuring a particle in its present in that affecting its past.

And all of those guys, you know, Max Planck has a weird quote about like the mind creating or being responsible for causality.

You know, so these are the types of questions all of these guys were flirting with because the quantum world was so weird.

And so if you point to the quantum thing as like pointing towards some sort of ontological truth and not what the Copenhagen interpretation ended up being, which is,

this formal mathematical heuristic where it's, you know, really the line was shut up and calculate.

If you actually treat it as like an inroad into ontological truth and reality, reality is like way weirder than we think.

And then you take the parapsychology experiments like seriously and you're like, okay, this is data.
