Recent experiments (gedanken or otherwise) and theorems in quantum mechanics(QM), such as new iterations on Wigner's friend and delayed choice, have ledmany people to claim that QM is not compatible with determinate andintersubjectively consistent experience (what some call absoluteness ofobserved events), such as experiences of experimental outcomes. In the case ofdelayed choice the tension is between our experience of free will and apossible "superdeterminism" at work in QM. At the very least, some havesuggested that the only way to save absoluteness of observed events, is to giveup one or more of the following assumptions: free will, locality, or thecompleteness of QM. Our goal in this paper is to provide a take on QM thatexplains why there is and must always be determinate and intersubjectivelyconsistent experience about all experimental outcomes (absoluteness of observedevents). Our take accepts the completeness of the theory and requires noinvocation of relative states (e.g., outcomes being relative to branches,conscious observers, etc.). And finally, this take requires no allegedly hybridmodels such as claims about "subjective collapse." We provide a take on QM thatyields a single world wherein all the observers (conscious or otherwise) agreeabout determinate and definite outcomes, because those outcomes are in factdeterminate and definite. We provide a realist psi-epistemic take on QM thatsaves the absoluteness of observed events and the completeness of QM, withoutgiving up free will or locality. We also show how our realist psi-epistemicaccount eliminates the measurement problem and, coupled with our take onneutral monism, also eliminates the hard problem of consciousness.
