What's the Schrödinger's cat equivalent in your profession/main activity? (lemmy.ml)

Needless to say i'm talking about the oversimplified and misleading version of the Schrödinger's cat paradigm, where he is both dead and alive until you watch it.

I don't have a job but i follow theater courses at an academy. And my improvisation is both funny and awful until i show it to others.

If you’re looking for a “something that’s explained oversimplifiedly then a lot of people say they get it (and are wrong)”

I studied math and my first thought here is Gödel's incompleteness theorems.

The joke was that it would be incomplete if christian wouldn't answer your question about Gödel's incompleteness theorems.
