I'm a big fan of epistemological interpretations of QM. Everything becomes far less mysterious when it is a theory of knowledge, IMO. Wavefunction collapse? No wonder it collapsed: it represents your knowledge and you just observed the system.

That (to my complete layman's eye) seems reasonable, but is it really much more than shuffling labels around? It seems the 'deeper' mystery remains: what is going on at the fundamental level of reality? (Or, in other words, why do our observations have these properties?) Whether or not that question is answerable -- or even meaningful -- I think we'll always be driven to ask it.
