His monologue on color, for instance.
This assumption is made by every other interpretation of quantum mechanics I know. On the other hand, I'm not a physicist; I'm clearly not up to date on things.
I meant the classical HV theories that were ruled out by actual experiments detecting violations of Bell's inequality.
Well, you didn't link to his view of qualia, but to a link where he explains why MWI is not the "winner" or "preferred" as EY claimed so confidently in his series on QM. You might disagree with him on his stance on qualia ( I do too ) but it would be a logical fallacy to state that therefore all his other opinions are also incoherent.
Mitchell Porter's view on qualia is not non-sense either, it is highly controversial and speculative, no doubt. But his motivation is sound, he think that it is the only way to avoid some sort of dualism, so in that sense his view is even more reductionist than that of Dennett etc. He is also in good company with people like David Deutsch (another famous many world fundamentlist).
As for local hidden variables, obviously there does not exist a local HV that has been ruled out ;p but you claimed there was none in existence in general.
Maybe I should have said "reading him in general..."
The rest is quibbling over definitions.
