The CI got a bad rap because some woo-woo merchants seized on the
idea that is was consciousness that collapsed the wave-function;
which was never what Heisenberg or Bohr said. /
Well which is it? Is consciousness involved or is it not? The MWI says
conscious stuff involves the same laws of physics as everything else
and the Schrodinger wave equation means what it says.
And that what appears to be collapse of the wave function is a spreading
of it to the environment (including measuring instruments) so that it is
approximately separable into orthogonal branches....consciousness need
not be involved.

My intuition is the MWI is correct but my intuition has been wrong
before so we won't know for sure until experiment tells us.
