I gave a talk in @pintofscience.uk! First, I had a chat with all attendees, most of them did not know quantum. Someone with the most irrelevant background asked a brilliant question; "What if in the double slit experiment, we put the observer in the superposition of seeing and not seeing?" 🤯

Mac Lane also has a piece on this: www.ams.org/notices/1995...

Sitting next to the Nazis' newly appointed minister of education at a banquet, [David Hilbert] was asked, "And how is mathematics in Göttingen now that it has been freed of the Jewish influence?" "Mathematics in Göttingen?" Hilbert repiled. "There is really none any more."
