There is much in the way of mental life that behaves in a quantum-like way: you can be in a superposition of a yes and a no, allowing both to project their alternate worlds until at some point you choose what you had perhaps already decided. This kind of vagueness, like negative capability, has its creative uses. This phenomenology does not apply to the ethical, you cannot be in a superposition of good and evil intentions, to dwell in moral ambiguity is already evil, the good is always definitive. Practical reason is classical, speculative reason, quantum.
