Quantum Physics- To what extent will its effect on human nature be fully comprehended?

I don't particularly *have* to answer the question and I'm not sure that the question itself admits of any sophisticated answers. That is, it seems to me clear that quantum physics as a discipline doesn't have any uncomprehended effects on human nature, because any intellectual discipline only affects human nature insofar as those effects are comprehended. It is in the nature of ideas that they only affect you insofar as you think you're affected, if you see what I mean. That's not a deep point; that's just a statement that quantum physics is something which we study, and if you don't study quantum physics you probably don't care too much about it.
