Can life be calculated?

Fortune telling, whether life can be counted, I think, the first thing to be clear is what this "life" is.

If we figure it out, I will die in a car accident tomorrow. So, can I stay at home tomorrow Or, it takes me time to do good deeds, so that it is possible to avoid car accidents? Or, in any case, I can't avoid the accident?

If I don't go out tomorrow and really avoid the accident, what is the "fate" we calculated at the beginning?

Even if I don't tell my fortune and don't know if there will be an accident tomorrow, I still have a few percent, one in ten thousand, or even one in ten million chance of not going out tomorrow, and I can avoid an accident. What is the calculated so-called life? It seems to be only a great possibility. The so-called possibility is that 100% will not happen. Have you ever bought a lottery ticket? Although the winning rate of the final prize is high, you won't get the prize either. What's the difference between counting and not counting?

Then because you don't go out, some causes and effects of things have changed, some possibilities have changed, and the possibility of going out and crashing is less. So, what is more likely? Is it good for you? You don't know, because it hasn't been worked out yet, so you have to recalculate it. Then, calculate that you are sitting at home, and the possibility of house collapse is greatly increased. At this time, change your mind, go to your parents' house today and stay at their house tomorrow, so that even if your house collapses, you will be fine and you will avoid being hit by a car tomorrow.

At the moment you make a decision, the causal relationship changes again, the possibility of house collapse becomes smaller, and other possibilities also appear-and so on. As long as you change your mind, the future will be infinite. What is fortune telling?

If you believe that the calculated fate can be changed, then the above is all the corollary.

Similarly, doing good deeds can change your life.

First of all, what is good? Who is in charge? Buddha? Jesus Christ. Or what god? If the goodness of Buddha and Jesus are not exactly the same, then does the life of people with different beliefs count?

Similarly, when I do good deeds, my fate will change. So, what was my initial calculated fate? Since it is impossible to appear, how do we know that the original calculation is accurate? Maybe it won't happen if you don't do good things?

So far, I haven't denied fortune telling, just saying that if life can be counted, it should not be changed. If it can be changed, we can't know whether life can be calculated.

Next, an interesting point.

If life can really be counted and cannot be changed, what will it be?

There are countless choices in a person's daily behavior, and each choice will lead to different behavior directions and develop a new trend.

Every choice is influenced by many factors. The latest one can be said to be related to mood, climate and people around you. In the medium term, it can be said to be related to knowledge and experience. In the long run, scientists have found that it is even related to genes. Isn't a part of character born? These factors lead to different choices, and they are changing all the time. If you draw every choice in a person's life as a picture, you can see an infinite (this infinity is only a metaphor, but it is still limited) flourishing tree-like bifurcated structure.

. And ourselves, we can only choose a road at one of the forks.

If fortune-telling can really be counted, then we can predict which unique path a person will take in his life on this forked tree, and this path cannot be changed, so that we can predict its future in advance.

It is feasible in theory. If we have an absolutely transcendental computer (according to science fiction, such a computer should be at least as big as the earth), then we can calculate all the factors and possibilities of a person's life, not only that, but also trace back to various factors of his parents and grandparents, and finally know all the trajectories of this person's life, that is to say, we can predict a person's life.

It is likely that the ancient fortune-telling method is a simplified procedure.

No, even if we know all the relevant factors of a person, can we work out his future? Just now we ignored a factor-do people have a sense of freedom? If a person has a sense of freedom, will he make a choice at will without any external influence? If so, then people's future is unpredictable. Because we never know where the next choice will go. Life is countless.

On the contrary, if life can be counted, then the future is doomed and unique.

If the future is unique and doomed, it means that human beings have no sense of freedom. We are like robots. All our seemingly free choices are made up of heredity, experience and knowledge, and the acquisition of knowledge and experience is related to heredity. All the factors that affect us are doomed. Finally, no matter what we think, we are actually a fixed program.

Therefore, whether life can be counted is actually a big topic.

It is related to whether people have a sense of freedom.

I'd rather believe in fortune telling, but calculation is only a greater possibility.
