| Mar 13, 2021 at 8:42 | comment | added | Peter - Reinstate Monica | @CriglCragl Feel free to downvote if you don't think the answer is good -- nothing wrong with that. Ad rem: (1) Perceived randomness (e.g. because we are lacking (principally available) information) is not the same as categorical randomness. We can't predict a million things because we have imperfect information; but I claim that Laplace's demon is principally impossible. (2) Not sure how statistical considerations affect my argument. (3) Yes, in a "many worlds" universe each individual after the split would perceive randomness while overall there was determinism. | |
| Mar 13, 2021 at 7:34 | comment | added | CriglCragl | Unpredictability can result from other conditions than randomness, for instance not knowing the contents of a black box does not require it's operation be random. Bayesian predictions may not indicate an outcome is predetermined. Determinism is preserved across Many Worlds, and in Superdeterminism, at least the former of which could be argued to be 'hip'. I didn't downvote, but your answer is not good. | |
