I don't see that superdeterminism is ruled out, or can be ruled out

superdeterminism because the don't happen, MWI because they happen in
another "world" to a different "you".
Maybe that is a good reason to disregard such ideas as pure fantasy.
The problem with superdeterminism, as outlined by Tim Maudlin, is that
is would render science and the endeavour to understand the nature and
operation of the world futile -- nothing could ever be tested because
there could be a giant conspiracy to deceive us.
How is it any different than the block universe view? So long as
everything that happens is in accord with some physical law I don't see
that superdeterminism is different from any other theory. Of course
there could always be a giant conspiracy to deceive us as to whether
there are physical laws...and in fact Donald Trump believes science is a
giant conspiracy.
