Key Notes
model
He interprets quantum mechanics as showing that matter is fundamentally vibrational and that observation or participation collapses possibility into solid measurable reality.
model
He answers the macro-scale objection by saying quantum mechanics is the basis of reality even if humans are not microscopic quantum objects.

evidence
The Einstein-Bohr example is used to argue that new science can initially look unclear, illogical, or wrong, yet triumph through conviction and faith.
model
He frames his teaching as an effort to get students to reimagine themselves and society by asking about the fundamental nature of reality across quantum mechanics, Kant, and Hegel.

model
Jiang says quantum mechanics and Kant both suggest objective reality is not directly knowable in the way materialism assumes, because observation and participation shape what becomes real to us.
model
Jiang says the basic lesson he draws from quantum mechanics is that reality becomes true through participation and observation, so people should actively imagine and build a better future rather than wait passively through collapse.
