Why is there so much effort spent on philosophical interpretations of QM, when there probably will be more fundamental levels of description such as string theory?
Is it to be expected that the least complex interpretation of QM will also apply to the one-day victorious string theory model?
I once asked a QM person (who shall remain nameless) why people argue about interpretations despite their untestability, and (s)he conjectured that what they are really arguing about is ramifications of these interpretations for "hard problems" (e.g. consciousness) which was an answer that surprised me.
It is written: a physicist does not live on instrumentalism alone.
