    Saying that observations are a special kind of interaction does seem to be privileging humans, though? What is different from measurements/observations and any other interaction?

      I’m neutral on the subject of if there are non-observational interactions. Though I ask again, are you aware of any observations that do not involve interactions?

      Edit: I should also point out, that I don’t believe an observation necessarily requires a human, mind, or intelligence.

        Why do you keep asking that? I already explained I’m not claiming observations = no interactions in extensive detail and you turn around and ask me that gain.

          Because you seem to have a problem with me saying that all observations are interactions.

          Futher, if it is true that if observations are interactions, then RQM must be true, surely it goes from a fringe interpretation to just simple fact unless you can find a counterexample?

          At this point, I’m not even sure I quite see what your point is supposed to be.
