Yes, I agree with your points. Superdeterminism could be a way to salvage my worldview.
Even so, accepting non-determinism from QM does not cause me as much cognitive dissonance than the problem of conscioussness.
- abernard1 5y ago> accepting non-determinism from QM I think it's deeper than non-determinism. We can imagine an extraordinarily precise "random" number generator that is software, more than capable of fooling all measurements we as humans make of it. It would also be non-deterministic. It would also, importantly, not be real. Until we can confidently say that the equations of physics are not actually themselves reality, we can't say materialism is even a thing. To be a materialist requires belief that what we know is a description of reality and not reality itself, and that would be true even if we had a deterministic "Newtonian" pre-QM view of the world coupled with advanced theory.
