Free will

Rhythm,

@shadow. If the future can be known, then the future is set.  Your future "choices" - are set.  Nothing between this moment and those moments can change the outcomes, or your mind.

10 minutes from now, you will be presented with two options.  Option A, and Option B.  I have foreknowledge of the result of this scenario.  You will choose B.  If I actually possess such knowledge, you must..in ten minutes, "choose" b, and you have absolutely no leverage in the matter. You will not and -could not- "choose a" - this is a requirement of the truth of my claim to foreknowledge (rather than an educated guess, for example).

If that relationship between claims and subjects and future states seems, to you, a description of a "choice" or being able to "choose"...then perhaps we're simply not talking about the same thing when we use the word.

You have merely re-stated the claim of the OP, and I have addressed that argument multiple times within this thread. Please see posts #41, 58, 66, 69, and 81.

I actually responded to you personally in post #41 about this same topic, but you may not have been alerted because my response to you was concatenated with my response to mh.brewer by the forum software. The software apparently thought I was a spambot. If you read back through those posts, maybe you will think so, too.  

Regards,
