Now I'm very much of the idea that quantum mechanics can undermine a lot of different ways that we percieve the world, but it makes reality even WEIRDER than what any of us could have possibly thought beforehand. I don't think circling back to classic god arguments, but weird, is the right way to go about this. We need to get all Lovecraft up in this, shit is gettin unfathomable to mortal minds.
It seems to me the argument is actually noting the way QM seems to be suggest a disorder governed by some kind of higher order. This follows from specific interpretations, sure, but not really seeing what is "Lovecraftian" about QM?
