Welcome to Overcoming Bias, anon! Try to to avoid triple-posting. The author of this post has actually just written a series on quantum mechanics, which begins with “Quantum Explanations.” He argues forcefully for a many-worlds interpretation, which is deterministic “from the standpoint of eternity,” although not for any particular observer due to indexical uncertainty. (You might say that, yes, reality does not take only one path, but it might as well have, because neither do observers!)
