because of quantum mechanics, local realism is untenable, scientifically speaking.

Yes. Which leaves 3 possibilities:

1. Existence in non local but real

2. Existence is not real but local

3. Some form of super deterministism as yet undefined.

I'm in the local but not real camp. QBism is an attempt at that. E: which is consistent with some "platonic" answers to the first hard problem.

Local but not real is fine if space is real. If space is not real then "local" is incoherent.

Substantivalism is the view that space exists in addition to any material bodies situated within it. Relationalism is the opposing view that there is no such thing as space; there are just material bodies, spatially related to one another.

For the record, in addition to being a transcendental idealist, I'm a qbist.
