In the sense that the choice is always available.
Knowledge of what is going to happen in no way impedes choice. It's the simplest way of explaining it, right there.
Quote:The "knowledge" factor is what is holding you back from the logic of the situation. You ill-logically think that knowledge of what will be automatically negates free will.Okay...and if you can't choose b..because x knows the future/the future is knowable and you will choose a...then...........?
The only negation of free will is an impeding of choice, meaning there is a willful force preventing you from being capable of choosing.
