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.

As a bicyclist, I see that we have Schrödinger's Cyclist: Too poor to be able to afford a car like "normal" people, but also a rich elitist who can afford to commute by bike.

Also, Schrödinger's Bike Lanes: A conspiracy by car-hating politicians to punish drivers, but also an amenity that only rich elitists get in their neighborhoods.
