So, given this limited understanding, we cannot draw much out of it ~ the nature of the universe doesn't fundamentally change depending on how we define things. It is merely our perception that changes, and nothing more.
not true. The nature of the universe changes fundamentally depending on the answer to the question I have provided. If 'my_unknown_spin_property' exists there is in fact no superposition, no collapse, no special role for consciousness in this entire matter.
That's why this question is big.
