Thread: Advantages and disadvantages of being able to predict the future at will?

I think that being able to 'predict the future at will' would be sort of like being able to satisfy your desires at will. There are a lot of implied assumptions about the relationship between your mind and events, and hidden contradictions that have to be resolved before it even makes sense. Once you've worked through all that I think it's not a problem anymore. Your experience of reality, and your heart and will is so radically transformed that the original thought about 'knowing the future' doesn't really apply in your world anymore.

"Predicting the future at will." What a funny statement!

Do you believe we have free will?

Do you believe in destiny?

Is everything that happens inevitable?

If the future is destined to happen in a certain way, and free will does not exist, can you will to do anything?

Precognition seems to me to know/see/view a possible future timeline, which can be altered by free will.
