  Although the suspicion that quantum mechanics is emergent has been lingering
for a long time, only now we begin to understand how a bridge between classical
and quantum mechanics might be squared with Bell's inequalities and other
conceptual obstacles. Here, it is shown how mappings can be formulated that
relate quantum systems to classical systems. By generalizing these ideas, one
gets quite general models in which quantum mechanics and classical mechanics
can merge. It is helpful to have some good model examples such as string
theory. It is suggested that notions such as 'super determinism' and
'conspiracy' should be looked at much more carefully than in the, by now,
standard arguments.
