    in some sense we already use technology that makes use of a subjective reality

    because of quantum mechanics the universe can’t be locally real, therefore quantum technologies would fulfill that requirement in my opinion

    if that’s the case, we already use technology based on subjective reality all the time. quantum mechanics is the basis for how some transistors work, utilizing quantum tunneling

      Another technology that uses the subjectivity of reality is film. If we always perceived the objective truth, we couldn’t watch Star Wars and see a Jedi. Instead, we’d just see coloured lights on a screen. Our minds are able to construct a subjective reality using a very small amount of stimuli, and create the subjective experience of another whole universe. (Or galaxy far far away, at least).
