> So when Carroll talks about 'physicists not understanding QM', he's just unhappy that most physicists don't share his view about QM and he's been known for trying to shame physicists for not sharing his view too.
This is incorrect and bad faith representation of Carrol's position.
While Carrol is proponent of MWI, he is calling more research on foundations of quantum theory in general. If you follow his podcast it's clear what his position is. Some of these so called interpretations are "legitimately distinct physical theories, with potentially new experimental consequences". In this article he specially mentions Ghirardi–Rimini–Weber theory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghirardi%E2%80%93Rimini%E2%80%...
