  Physics has long lived with a schizophrenia that desires determinism for
measured systems while demanding that experimenters decide what to measure on a
whim. Intriguingly, such a free will assumption for experimenters has thwarted
many attempts to provide a satisfactory explanation of how quantum
probabilities evolve to clear-cut measurements. An overview of this quantum
measurement problem is presented without equations, and the lesson is drawn
that denial of experimenters' free will may be the only workable solutions. If
the free will assumption is rejected, then a door is open that may ultimately
reconcile quantum mechanics with the definiteness of individual experiments. A
holistic view is offered for an Escher-like self-consistent space-time net of
events rather than a conspiracy of initial conditions as a way forward.
