Objective reality does exist - I'm not sure how this study contradicts it. It doesn't exist in a way that a normal human mind can comprehend, but it definitely exists, and you don't need observers in order to collapse the probability functions that the article talks about.

We know from the violations of Bells inequality that we either need to give up locality (fast then light influence) or realism (that facts are objective and independent from the observer), or we have to accept that everything is super determistic and predetermined. This experiment seems to hint on an absent of realism but it can still be one of the other options. You just have to decide which seem the least weird..

This is one of those things where I don't see the dilemma that smarter people do. Why would there be any hesitation in giving up locality then?

If objective reality is non-existent, workers cannot objective claim to be underpaid, overworked and unfairly treated. Citizens cannot objectively claim they are taxed unfairly and their rights and freedom is being infringed upon. It appears to be an anti-intellectual campaign designed to convince people they do not have the capacity to think critically or independently.
