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
