THE PHILOSOPHY OF SUPERDETERMINISM ON KANT'S CRITIQUE OF PURE REASON

The philosophy of superdeterminism is based on a single scientific fact about the universe, namely that cause and effect (and probabilistic causation) in physics are not real. In 2020, accomplished Swedish theoretical physicist, Dr. Johan Hansson proved by applying Albert Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity to what has already been scientifically verified about spin measurement correlations observed in entangled particle pairs that cause and effect (and probabilistic causation) in physics are not real. Dr. Hansson’s proof can be used to challenge Kant’s famous critique of pure reason. Kant's critique of pure reason argued that knowledge must conform to the structure of the human mind, rather than the mind passively conforming to external objects. Because these mental structures are the necessary precondition for any experience, the knowledge we gain is always knowledge of appearances (phenomena) as structured by us, not of things-in-themselves (noumena), thus precluding any objective knowledge of transcendent ideas like God or the soul. But, Kant's entire system rests on the premise of an autonomous human subject that actively "creates" the knowable world by freely imposing a priori structures onto experience. But, under superdeterminism, all states of the universe—including every human thought and the very formation of these mental categories—are predetermined, fixed facts of the spacetime block. This eliminates the autonomy of the knowing subject, thereby collapsing Kant's fundamental distinction between the world structured by us (phenomena) and reality-in-itself (noumena). By integrating the act of knowing into an unchangeable static block reality, superdeterminism re-opens the door to objective metaphysical knowledge, such as the spiritual experiences and arguments for the existence of God that Kant sought to exclude, by removing the mind as the subjective limiting filter.
