It's not a stupid question at all.
If you consider different possible past events, then a system that acts as a memory is still correlated to the events well (change a detail and the memory would've changed accordingly). If you had a system capable of remembering the future, you'd need to know every particle's position and momentum. This is why the "psychological" and thermodynamical arrows of time align.

Apparently that's the dumbest fucking thing this guy's ever seen on this board though.
The question is: is it really deterministic? The determinism wouldn't be lost due to quantum mechanics?
Not necessarily.

Time is a psychological construct - it's a concept, not a physical thing.
When someone says "Time doesn't exist" they mean that there is no real physical property of time, not that the mind cannot relate experiences with cause and effect.
But you're probably some dipshit 18 year old who still thinks "spacetime" is actually legitimately literally physically really truly space and "time" combined as a property of universal fabric.

Nothing can be truly non-deterministic, it can only appear random, like in a computer random number generator. Also when you say time is not unidirectional you seem to be thinking of space.
Space is a psychological construct - it's a concept, not a physical thing.
When someone says "space doesn't exist" they mean that there is no real physical property of space, not that the mind cannot relate experiences with length and separation.
But you're probably some dipshit 18 year old who still thinks "spacetime" is actually legitimately literally physically really truly "space" and time combined as a property of universal fabric.
