Here’s a recent editorial I found in the magazine arguing against Many-Worlds on the grounds that it denies the reality of experience or the self. (https://www.quantamagazine.org/why-the-many-worlds-interpretation-of-quantum-mechanics-has-many-problems-20181018/) Well, if we don’t want many-worlds or subjectivism, than the only other option looks like it’d be to modify QM itself. Some form of digital physics might work, otherwise we could have objective collapse (either random, or else there’s something/someone outside the universe choosing which path the universe follows).
Remember, QM is not compatible with general relativity. It is often assumed that the problem is finding a quantum theory of spacetime. But the long sought theory may also require some modification of QM or otherwise throw light on the measurement problem. For example, Penrose's gravitationally induced collapse might work out.
