Is this a "mainstream" view in academic quantum mechanics? It seems so much more "modern" than what I learned.



Wheeler was certainly visionary.

The most faithful contemporary worldview is probably the "QBist" interpretation [0-2] espoused by Chris Fuchs (who studied under Wheeler), Ruediger Schack, Carlton Caves, David Mermin and others. It's growing in popularity but is not mainstream.
