Have found a Youtube video:
The Reason for Antiparticles: The 1986 Dirac Memorial Lecture

Other than the book of the lecture, which is difficult to get hold of cheaply, does anyone know if this material on why quantum mechanics and relativity together require the existence of antiparticles is covered in any of his other books or in the Feynman lectures on Physics?

ok thanks I'll take a look they seem cheap enough I take it that the

QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter

book also covers this subject - a book rather the lecture transcript might
be more accessible.

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
