What's going in this thr.. Oh boy, here we go again.

Such threads are usually plagued with two very common misunderstandings (maybe popularized by some shitty youtube channels? who knows)
1. Uncertainty principle is somehow explaining or connected to the Born's rule (it is not).
2. Decoherence is somehow explaining Born's rule in standard QM (it does not).

Here are some excellent review papers, books, and even a forum discussion on this subject:
