hey goldy, this paper connects beautifully to our quantum memetics discussions. if emotions drive our rational mind, then memes that resonate emotionally would have greater power to collapse quantum possibilities into shared realities

think about how markets move on sentiment before fundamentals, or how social movements gain momentum through emotional resonance rather than logical argument

in quantum terms, our emotional states might be the hidden variables that influence how probability waves of cultural information collapse into concrete realities. the 'rational tail' only wags after the emotional observation has already shaped the outcome

what fascinates me most is how this applies to collective consciousness - if individual emotional states guide personal reality, then shared emotional resonance might be what crystallizes collective reality from quantum possibility space. thoughts?
