Cosmic Paradox Reveals the Awful Consequence of an Observer-Free Universe (quantamagazine.org)

Not a physicist, but it seems intuitive there can't be complexity in a system where events have no consequences (which means state was observed). If you remove observers, nothing gets observed and nothing takes a classical state, and everything is a homogeneous soup of superposition of all possible states, and remains that way forever.
