For Neill, Kesh, and Prem: some thoughts on determinism. Anyone know how you compress comments down into the just-lines bits, or whether or not if you reply to a comment someone has made in reply to someone else, both get the reply up the chain, or just the one person you reply to?
( Runaway reality or linear path? )

And while I'm very spiritual in nature, I am willing to agree with you -- free will is as much an illusion as one is willing to look far out to see where the boundaries lie.
I just choose to see my space as free to choose what I want within it, rather than seeing myself as confined by a lockstep non-deterministic state. It's better for me to see everything as a choice or a question, rather than just not caring what choice I make, knowing it to be the 'only' one according to my predetermined route. It's like the difference between RPGs like the FF games, where there was only one linear storyline, and you couldn't move the plot forward without them, and the Planescape:Torment game, where your choices, though limited, shaped the road ahead.
