We can either do it basing our intent off of the past, present or future, IMO. Sorry to hear you're a B rate movie. Maybe you should use your budget for a B porn film Big Grin Even those have a tiny bit of merit! j/k btw!

You miss my point it seems.

Yes, obviously, I can, and do, think ahead. I can, and do, think of the future. But that is true with or without free will. I have a will and a will that can think ahead and of the future whether it is entirely determined/probabilistic (I can't control my own will in other words because "I" IS my "Will") or not. I have a will but whether it is "free" is another matter. This is a question of the existence of "free will" not merely "will".
