Newton said that every action had an equal and opposite reaction. That's all very well, but what if every action had an equal and opposite pre-action? It would put paid to the entire notion of indeterminacy. How can there be anything but the determined path (and before the amateur or even the professional theoretical physicists start in, you people still haven't actually proved anything apart from the fact that you're not really sure) be possible? Is it even possible that time only happens mono-directionally? Of course not, it is only our perception that dictates a past-to-future progression of time. Someone, please prove me wrong. Then I'd have a reason to at least make a decision, any kind of decision...as far as I can tell, it's all "Que Sera Sera". Whilst it'd be nice to be able to abdicate responsibility for fairly obvious reasons (imagine! no need for guilt or shame about the most completely selfish acts! Whatever happens is not your fault!) part of me dies when I think that no matter what I think I am doing to change things, it makes no difference to the possibilities, which are singular. What happens happens. Individual struggles, our attempts to mould anything outside ourselves (or even within) count for precisely nothing because existence, the universe, is a big pre-printed impression.
I hate these thoughts because they leave the door open for a Printer, a gigantic plate-maker in the sky.
