A quantum platitude is a slogan whose meaning depends on whether you agree with it. If you agree, it has one meaning. If you disagree, it has another. This "superposition" is used to trick people into evangelizing absurdities.
great model and point. it seems like a lot of pitched political battles rest on one or more of these: love is love: pro-choice or pro-life; gun control; defund the police; black lives matter.
the superposition of meaning is what makes these memetic slogan resilient i suspect, as they inflame discourse and self-perpetuate. like parasites, they are evolutionarily successful at the cost of constructive dialogue.
