"An electron is not anywhere until we look...
Every model we makes tells us how our mind works as much as it tells us about the universe... these are just human symbolic games. The universe is bigger than any of our models.
Ergo any model we make does not describe the universe. It describes what our brains are capable of saying at this time.
All perception is gamble...
Every type of bigotry... that allows people to kill other people with a clear conscience... every kind of ignorance in the world are all results from not realizing our perceptions are gambles. We believe what we see and then we believe our interpretation of it and we don’t even know we’re making an interpretation most of the time. We think this is reality...
Now the argument is that maybe my perceptions are inaccurate, but somewhere there is accuracy... the scientists have it with their instruments. That’s how we can find out what’s really real! But relativity and quantum mechanics have demonstrated clearly that what you find out with instruments is true relative only to the instrument you’re using and where that instrument is located in space time. So there is no vantage point from which real reality can be seen. We’re all looking from the point of view of our own reality tunnels. And when we begin to realize that we are all looking from the point of view of our own reality tunnels, we find it is much easier to understand where other people are coming from.
And the ones who don’t have the same reality tunnel as us don’t seem ignorant or deliberately perverse or lying or hypnotized by some mad ideology, they just have a different reality tunnel and every reality tunnel might tell us something interesting about our world... if we’re willing to listen."

Robert Anton Wilson Explains Quantum Physics [to the layman.]
And he explains everything else too, for that matter.
