Ball has written that if we are serious about the cultural project that follows such discoveries and confirmations, “we’re going to need some philosophy.”20 Which is another way of saying we are going to need the humanities. What I will add here is that we are going to need a long, hard look at extreme anomalous experiences, which, if I am correct, may well be quantum effects just staring us in the proverbial face. They certainly look quantum. But they are also generally mediated by the imagination, and so they also appear as fantastic.
