As for resolving the EPR paradox (I'm sure you were all waiting for my opinion on this), I don't know. But some things seem reasonable to me, and some things don't.
I neither reject or accept "many worlds". I don't know how to think about that one or what to say about it. Not my favorite though.
Pilot wave is interesting. The fact that you can't do the math doesn't make it less likely, I think it just makes it less popular because people want math to predict things. So that one is still a contender in my head.
Non-local realism is fine too. If that is what it is, I'm okay with that. But if so, there is a lot more we need to work out.
Superdeterminism is not a reasonable contender in my book. And not because I have a problem with determinism. I don't. If it turned out the universe was absolutely deterministic, I wouldn't be suprised or bothered. Many people misunderstand what free will is, so they think something changes and they don't have free will. But that is absurd. I can explain free will in a future post. The reason superdeterminism is a no-go is because it has to be a very particular construction of superdeterminism that just so happens to always influence the choices of the experimenters (and random sequence generators) in a particular way such as to break Bell's inequality. Until someone offers a reasonably coherent mechanism for such a particular superdetermined universe, it is just absurd to me.
