Free Will

Predictability, Sex, and the Universe.
Kill, Eat, Reproduce, Kill, Eat, Reproduce, Kill, Eat, Reproduce, Kill, Eat, Reproduce, Kill, Eat, Reproduce. The anthem of the ancestors. If you didn't do it you died. If you died you didn't have kids. If you did it, you lived and your features, and family lived on to become the humans we are today. You can trace every decision back to this. Essentially Coitus. Why do people learn things? To eventually get a job. If morality and social pressure haven't effected you this job is for personal gain. Why do you want personal gain? To be able to afford food. Why do you want food? To Survive. Why? To Reproduce. Why? Coitus feels good. Why? Evolution made it so. Why does evolution work? Be cause coitus feels good. Why does it feel good? Evolution made it so. This situation as well as any other situation ends in circular logic, and has a certain set of fixed concrete aspects of the universe at the specific time of the event. Whether  light traveling, rocks colliding, or people talking if you had all of this information and the way the specific human processes this information you can predict any choice. Just like predicting a coin toss and die roll if you had the time and resources you could easily predict the outcome with pure physics. Even virtual random number generators use complex algorithms that aren't really random. Like this, the human mind can be easily predicted. It's all based on the human condition, the morality system actually working, and whether the person knows you are predicting them and/or testing free will. Like the locating of particles on the quantum scale examining them moves them. If the subject knows you are testing free will they will either reverse, keep the same, or slightly change their answer. If you were to have enough information about the person you could accurately "predict" their choice. Just like the past, in which there is a definite situation that happened whether you know exactly what happened or not. The future also has situations that will happen whether you know exactly what. It seems as though we've come far from the anthem of the ancestors but in reality we haven't yet that fact can be examined for much metaphysical value.
