No I wouldn't.
Had I seen my future 30 years ago I'd have probably well.....done anything to avoid it, but I'm here and I'm grateful for what I have despite the shit I had to endure to get here.

Hang on a minute I need to absorb this, maybe over a brew |

Nothing to do with the question asked.
Yeah I would. |

Absolutely yes. Imagine how much better we could plan our lives if we knew for sure how long we’d got.
Make sure we did the things we really want to while we’re healthy enough. Or not end up with loads of money saved to plan for an old age we don’t get. |

I'll play your game but without the crystal ball, having my own psychic stuff going on.
Material and atheistic, something more explicable in the direction of quantum physics, fractal attractors, and a poem more fucked up (and more beautiful) than any religion we've invented so far, but most definitely not a religion - they're a bit old hat now.
A reality far stranger than religion or science can come up with yet - the next step into explaining reality, supplanted itself in a few centuries/millennia, and so on and so on.
So - for the purposes of this scenario, I'll declare this is how I can see. I see futures.
Every future I've seen is, however, changeable.
So I'm unable to agree with your premise that a future is fixed.
I'd suggest, in fact, that one of the reasons time and information are not restricted in that manner is because consciousness (or what lies beneath it and matter, knitting the two together akin to David Bohm's ideas) is part of the universe's existential requirements, but it struggles with fixity.
Contradicts its modes of production.
So, most humans can probably see a future - biology needs physics, and physics is fairly comfortable with what I've said - and that future is a "real" future in that it can happen, but it's not a "fixed" future. |
