The reason why I don't believe in Lorentz invariant quantum
"collapse" is that no one's come up with a theory of it, OK?
You can throw words around: mechanistic, nonlinear, chaotic,
but it makes no progress.  Just go off and invent the theory,
please.

Why?  Because the chances of getting anything done are
minimal and you will have a tough time convincing anyone to
give you a job.  Here let us remember some advice attributed
to David Mermin: "No one should work on Bell's theorem until
after they have tenure."
