Is There a Local Realism in Quantum Mechanics?

I kind of want to do is have some kind of an enhanced almond agreement theory for physicalists because what happens is that with the usual almond agreement theorem it kind of assumes that all agents have the same prior but if your agents are Cartesian then in some sense they don't have the samePrior. This means each agent has a prior which is defined from its own subjective point of view and this can cause failures of agreement. In particular, Paul Cristiano has this thing which is called the Solomon of Prior
