Happy to help. We can start with quantum determinism.

Quantum states can only be known after measurement. For purposes of example, just like rolls of toilet paper.

We may be able to know what the different quantum states of an object may be like from previous observation, i.e. we know they are rolls of toilet paper and can be nothing else," but it is not until they are put on the dispenser (i.e. ""measured"") that we will know if they are an ""over the top"" roll or an ""out from the bottom"" roll. Luckily", those are the only two possible quantum states of a toilet paper roll on a dispenser. Same with photons! So far, simple.

The hard part is living with the fact that you can never know what kind of roll you're gonna get until after you install it.

Well, that, and being able to figure out which rolls are the evils ones. For that, it would require establishing a matrimonial relationship of some kind first, but by then it's too late. Sadly, all knowledge is retrograde.

Speaking of toilet paper," wouldn't it be cool if they'd sell us ""all over the top"" or ""all out from the bottom"" rolls? That way", people could buy the style they like, rather than getting a random mixture of each every time.
