I’m trying to wrap my head around these concepts and it seems like they are basically one in the same.
If all points in time exist at once, this implies determinism?
If the universe is deterministic, that implies all “choices” are already made and so all moments in time already exist?
In: Physics
You can be eternalist and determinist to a certain extent. They’re not mutually exclusive. Eternalist thought considers now, ten minutes from now, and ten minutes ago all equally “real.”
Deterministic thought suggests that since every response is a reaction to something, there is no such thing as free will. Your fate has already been determined.
The problem is that determinism is easily disproved just by you making a choice on a whim.
