I think this is Steve's best explanation about his views on subjective reality yet. However, I still prefer to believe in OR. The reason is that there seems to be much more certainty in an OR world than in SR.
For example I know that pressing the light switch will always cause the light to turn on. If it doesn't then I am assured that the light bulb needs to be replaced or that there might be an electricity failure in the building.
However, in a subjective reality the working of the lamp would depend on my thoughts and beliefs about it. This does not seem to be the case. And I appreciate that. If electrical and mechanical devices would rely on my beliefs about them to work then my life would be a big and unpredictable mess.
