Do you believe the world is deterministic?

That if you feed all the variables of the current state of the universe to an algorithm that knows all the laws of the universe, we can replicate life 1:1 to the last atom, from the beginning of the universe to any arbitrary point in time, the same way, every single time?

Personally? I wouldn’t declare that as a strongly held belief, but if I had to guess I would guess “yes.” Superdeterminism is sort-of a tough pill to swallow, because it ultimately means that you were bound to live this exact life since the beginning of time… but it feels like it makes the most sense.
