I wonder what Schrödinger would have thought of the Free Will Theorem: https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0604079.pdf



I think he would not like it. The theorem is underwhelming and uses misleading attention-seeking terminology. A more appropriate way to state it is, I think, this: if experiment settings violate determinism, its results have to violate determinism as well. To the author's credit, they say as much in the introduction themselves - "I saw you put the fish in".
