On a grander scale. In this case, only data relevant to determinism.


In a sick and maybe contradictory sort of way, do you think that attaining that data is never meant to be? Only in the sense that sometimes, some things are actually not possible.

People who don't believe in destiny, or at least believe it to be insignificant like I do, tend to have ideals, goals, and plans with the motivation to actually act on them. Not universal, but a trend nonetheless.

Mm, perhaps their susceptibility to learned helplessness. As a general trend, it seems to be about as influential as other metaphysical beliefs—I just happened to be curious about your thoughts.


It's definitely a way to get a pointer on someone's character.

Perhaps not. Fortunately, we aren't without inferences from those patterns.
