Unless we have a way to find out what that predetermined future is, it’s irrelevant and you should proceed as if it isn’t a thing.

So you’re saying turn to page 72.

If you like. You can also be a rebel and turn to a different page or stop reading the book altogether.

But all the pages are 72. And your whole experience is also being described in real time on another page 72 elsewhere. 72s all the way down friend.

I mean technically, since we don’t exist in a deterministic universe, we don’t have a predetermined fate either, the concept of destiny or fate is a cope by itself. It’s debatable that free will exists either. Perhaps neither fate nor free will exists, and everything is just a roll of the quantum die… Hopefully it’s a D20.

Also maybe there’s some concept currently beyond human comprehension that makes it so that a probabilistic universe, deterministic universe and free will can paradoxically work all together.

When I was like 7 my mom bought me a choose your own adventure book. I tried to read it cover to cover and was very confused.

So if you read it cover to cover, what did you think the instructions were about? What about the “turn to page X” parts?

I’m not judging - this is exactly the sort of oblivious thing I would’ve done as a kid too - but I’m curious how it happened.

I specifically remember doing this with one of the goosebumps choose your own adventure. There was a good ending page that referenced nirvana (the idea not the band) and I read that thing end to end choosing both choices for everything. No page ever sent you to it. It was just a contrivance that you were sent to glance at while flipping through.
