Quantum Limits of Knowledge 2021 Tuesday 30th March, 2021 I will briefly recapitulate the senses in which it can be said that QBism is a realist position and a realist programme. I will then contrast what may be called Full Blooded QBism, as currently maintained by Chris Fuchs and colleagues, with a more moderate, and perhaps more defensible, QBism Lite, this being a version of QBism along the lines that I articulate in Timpson (2013, Quantum Information Theory and the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, OUP). In particular I will explain why it seems to me that escaping the standard no-go results (especially Bell’s theorem) does not require one to move so far as to Full Blooded QBism.
