If reality does not exist until a consciousness observes the superpositions, then what existed before there was any consciousness to observe anything at all? If no reality existed existed prior to consciousness, then what brought consciousness into being?

Are 6 six billion consciousnesses on earth each viewing the same reality? Or are each viewing their own reality? If each is viewing its own reality, then how do we have common perceptions of things?

What counts as an “observer” or a “measurer”? People only? People and animals? People, animals, insects, and one called creatures? Plants?

That isn’t too far off. Different people can watch the same event and have significantly different versions of what happened. On the flip side, there can only be one truth. Sometimes you have to examine forensic evidence to determine that. Even so, people will still disagree.

If there is a designer outside of space and time setting it up, then these questions can be resolved. Like computer game designers programming a simulation, or like God.

It seems that some 130 million voting Americans look at the same reality and see diametrically opposed "realities".

It’s like binge watching all the episodes of a TV series and finding the story arc at the half-point totally diverges from memory. Does that mean one isn’t currently living in the same universe as when watching the first running of the series over a decade ago???
