I've had some brutal conversations around "quantum", especially in undergrad when I made the mistake of mentioning that I was taking a semiconductor physics course that required us to learn quantum mechanics at at least an introductory level. Many people seem to make a wild leap from "at a deeply microscopic scale, we have to use statistics to predict what's going to happen because it's not nearly as deterministic as it is in the macroscopic world" to "at a quantum level, all of our brains are resonating in quantum harmony and that's why my cat is so intuitive"
Wonderful typo with "landmind" by the way. It's perfect!
