Anyone can explain superdeterminism in a simple way? That sounds interesting.

  Explanation 0: QM, unlike classical physics, says quantum effects are truly random and unpredictable and we can only know their probability distribution. (Or something like that.) Explanation 1: The universe is not random and doesn't have cause and effect. All scientific experiments appear to work because the whole universe is actually a movie playing out where each new frame has been edited to produce the results we see, but for some reason the author decided to never violate QM. Explanation 2: Unlike what QM predicts (true randomness) there's a finite amount of randomness added at the beginning of the universe, enough that our experiments appear to follow QM, but eventually if we looked hard enough there would be a predictable result with finite entropy. So it's actually regular determinism. A few people claim #2 is true and doesn't imply #1. Everyone else thinks they're the same and doesn't like it for philosophical reasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytyjgIyegDI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytyjgIyegDI
