Huh, just an interestingly related idea:

In a 1936 Esquire article entitled âoeThe Crack Up,â author F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote âoeBefore I go on with this short history, let me make a general observationâ" the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise. This philosophy fitted on to my early adult life, when I saw the improbable, the implausible, often the "impossible," come true.â

50 years ago a home hobbyist could buy some cheap 7400 chips and play with logic - could build a full functioning computer if you were ambitious and dedicated enough.

Today I cannot find anything like that qbit wise - just the equivalent of a single gate to play with superposition etc without near millions of lab cryogenics etc
