I haven't read Carroll's book because it is not available in Australia yet. I watched most of the lecture, and was put off by the style and the lack of substance. I don't know what ponderous screeds from me that you have been reading that damn Carroll's book -- I haven't written anything about his book, although I have written at length about the troubles with MWI, and the failure of MWI to provide an adequate local causal account of the violation of the Bell inequalities. Now, maybe Carroll has a convincing explanation of this. If he has, and you have read it in his book, then please reproduce it here so that we can all share in this insight.
