If you have the opportunity to see your future, will you do it?

No, I'm too afraid that would destroy the illusion of free will and reduce one to an automoton. It would be horrifying! Forced to act out a life-long script. It would feel like being paralysed.

Of course. Cuz i wouldn't be like one of those idiots who failed to understand that my seeing into the future actually AFFECTS my future. Seeing into the future is a completely different thing than affecting the future. Just because you see into the future does NOT mean you can change it. Also, i would LOVE to know if the damn mustard stain i got in my new F'n WHITE *** SHIRT comes out or if i just have to burn it. Stupid hot dogs. I mean seriously... Shouldnt hot dog buns be made like, i dunno, Pouches? that way none of the relish and ketchup and mustard and onions and such would fall out. If someone does this because they read my idea, i implore them to send a a batch.

no not really. because if i saw the future and it was me being filthy rich with a wonderful life, that would be cool but then I would probably not try as hard in life because i'd know that i would end up rich so then what would be the point of working as hard.... however it I saw my future and it was bad I change my lifestyle so that my future would be better..i guess

No. I want to be able to live for now, and not for some future that may or may not happen. I don't believe in destiny, because that would mean that every choice I make is for a predestined future life.
No, I want to live for right now, not tomorrow.

Just the fact that you know your future would alter it, so you'd have to start all over again which of course would be an endless loop of want and despair.

Hell no. Half the fun is not knowing where you're going!
