Fate?

[Angrboda]

Eppur si muove

I consider the question moot. Fated or not, we will never cease to struggle against the bonds. There are reasons for this, but I'd have to take you rather far down the rabbit hole to explain.

It is an apriori fact that we are free. Whether we are in fact free or not, is somewhat irrelevant for most purposes, except perhaps ethics and finding yourself, but that's yet another rabbit hole I will defer to explore.
