IMHO, every "interpretation" of QM is an attempt to take our ordinary human perception and project this into QM. If you look at QM as a way to predict measurements, it works out beautifully, just as John's note re Feynman states. "Many Worlds", "Observers", "Collapse of the Wave Function" are all just gibberish. Entertaining, though.
