So it isn't determined from prior conditions?It's not the case that you have a set of conditions and you know what the choice will be. You'd pick the cold beer over self immolation almost every time. But in most cases we'd have no idea of what the decision is going to be. There literally are multiple options. Multiple choices. It's not the case that you can say 'only one outcome is possible'. All outcomes are possible.
As I have repeatedly stated, you're trying to have your cake and eat it too. Either all outcomes are possiible and we freely decide, or only one outcome iis possible and we discover without choosing.But, and this is the point that you either really don't understand or are intent on ignoring, after the event we can often see what determined the choice. But right up until the choice is made, all bets are on the table. It's only when that final decision is made can we examine the situation and work out what determined it. Because something(s) obviously did.
It's not the hypothetiicals that are the problem, it's that you're attempting to have iit both ways.And this is going to be a waste of my time typing this because the number of people in this forum who have a grasp of hypotheticals is abysmally low. But if we then imagine exactly the same conditions, if we reran the film, then the choice would be exactly the same. There isn't anything outside of the process that id different. Including you. There's no mini-me watching all this unfold and making decisions for you that have no reasons behind them.
