Wetiko is the best explanation. It uses simple psychology and jives well with even Jung's idea of archetypes, which I suspect he learned by seeing the craziness of his times.

It also fulfills Occam's razor, unlike the quantum reality one.

Quantum theory is the virology of physics BTW.

I'm a nerd and I've always questioned teachers. The double slit has huge assumptions , like they assume the detector uses zero energy (impossible and that's why the photon was influenced by measuring it aka observing it).

Here is a playlist of interesting videos pulling apart quantum mechanics.

And here's a fave video about how science turned into "systemics".

"...ever since the movie The Matrix came out about 25 years ago, that the reality we experience is a simulation. I used to think that was utterly ridiculous."

-Yes, they were taunting us with that movie and by suggesting a simulation to be Sci Fi-ish as in the movie no one would believe us if we use the word "simulation" for real life. "False narratives" is a better term.
