TIMESTAMPS:
00:00:00 Introduction
00:04:16 Overview of Superdeterminism
00:08:31 Bernardo's agreements / disagreements
00:13:15 It's more promising to violate statistical independence (SI)
00:15:59 What are the hidden variables in Superdeterminism?
00:18:20 What is statistical independence? Is it a mere assumption?
00:22:41 People claim Superdeterminism isn't falsifiable, but is it?
00:31:17 Back and forth criticism and justification of proposed experiments
00:38:35 Does experiment change the outcome of what's measured?
00:41:37 Contrarian views -- should they be put forward tentatively?
00:44:57 Decoherence and the observer
00:49:22 The observer (and consciousness) is irrelevant in quantum mechanics
00:52:37 Why oppose violating statistical independence (SI)?
00:54:57 Metaphysics? Or simply trying to solve the measurement problem?
00:55:57 We don't have a good reason to depart with SI
00:59:10 Holding Sabine to higher standards than John Bell?
01:01:31 [gastronic] What is the definition of measurement / What does it mean to "look at"?
01:02:22 [Salvatore Pais] Unification of forces by means of the "Super Force"
01:05:18 [rad capsule] "Without thought, there is no science."
01:07:22 Falsifying idealism
01:11:53 Joscha Bach?
01:13:20 Notes about the upcoming Salvatore Pais interview

Exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, free will, and God. If you'd like to support this podcast, then visit the Patreon (https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal). Thank you for your charitable and kind hearted support. My name is Curt Jaimungal, a Torontonian filmmaker making a documentary on the above topics (as for what shape the final settled project will take, I'm unsure). During the exploratory phase, there will be a plethora of interviews / conversations with intellectuals placed on this channel -- approximately un-edited.
