To put it in other words if your future is known, it doesn't matter whether you know it yourself or not, whether you think that you have a choice in front of you. Because it is known that you will go a certain way, do a certain thing, speak a certain sentiment, the choice does not exist. Otherwise how could it be known?
Yea CL I'm honestly not sure how it's so hard for you to see the contradiction in this.
Let's pretend time travel is possible, which we're already doing and more. We all 'know' Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK. If I travel back in time to Tokyo 1 minute before it happens, is there a chance I can turn on the TV, and JFK doesn't get shot?
Do you think the 1st time Oswald had a choice, and the 2nd time he didn't?
