What went different in that timeline and how can we achieve the same?

The curious thing was it had like 3 upvotes and -1 downvote and it counted as 4 total.

This comment shows “-1” dislikes for some reason and it’s counted as an upvote.

What makes you think anything you could do is not based on previous conditions? I don’t think any of your examples, by themself, say anything about determinism or free will.

If the universe would be fully deterministic and you’d have all Data and unlimited computing power you could predict any point in time.

I have the feeling most people cling to free will as a concept because not having free will raises questions if a “self” truly exists. However the existence of free will can be as scary if not more, since how could we define a “self” if it could freely do something not based on what defines it.
