The term "inevitability" is incorrect, from my perspective. There is no such thing. Wouldn't you agree?
Again, that would address our personal positions on whether or not the universe works that way, whether or not there's such a thing as an inevitability. Whether or not the criticism of omniscience as it relates to future knowledge is a logical one, that follows from it's assumptions..is something else entirely.
The sort of future knowledge being alleged in the case of cassandra and omni gods..opposed to random hedge witches (I don't believe in any of this shit, lol), is a certain inevitability. If there was such knowledge, or if such knowledge were possessed...this has a deleterious effect on classical free will. You can;t choose b at all. You will choose a. It's a certain inevitability. Known (or, at least knowable) to be so, in advance of you haviong ever been aware that you would even be making any choice.
In the case of omni god...all of the future spreads out as an inevitable tapestry of certainty, all the way to the end, from before the beginning, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
