Determinism is the way of the universe and the laws of nature. It is also mathematical. Everything physical correlates with the laws of the universe. One verse. Free will is optional when it comes to knowledge wisdom and understanding which are imminent. We the choice we have but our destinies are definite. That’s what separates us from everything else in the universe. Our minds are God when at the highest level. Theres one mind. We all control different aspects of it. The reason while there is prophets are because some people are in tune with the future. It takes the one to come and decipher the prophecies. We can’t change the grand scheme of things but we have control and choice when it comes to our ways and actions, works and deeds. In the movie minority report john couldn’t change his destiny but his intentions changed. Free will is on a mental leave.  He dint kill the guy who he thought killed his soon purposely. He had a choice, and the outcome was the same but he had a choice of his mentality and intentions which we are judged by. Oedipus tried to change his destiny and it still caught up with him. The more you try to change it the faster it seems like it occurs. John and Oedipus both chose to get there physical eyes took. Out to. John did it to hide from his past .Oedipus did not want to see the results of his actions. They where pre-determined. 540-450 Oedipus got the revelation from Theresa’s that he killed Latius his father. It was predicted it would happened and it did. Just like john who was showed who he would kill, he searched and searched and he tried to avoid it but it happened. His way in the future so he got to change his intentions and in reality it wasn’t a murder but the guy was still killed. I feel that determinism and free will work hand and hand. It is balanced like everything else in the universe has polarity. I agree with the scientists in Michael huemers text free will and determinism in the world of minority report who say that freewill and determinism is perfectly compatible. (106). Free will inspires one to question there origins and there future. John went to talk to women to find answers about his future. Oedipus called prophets and the sheep herder to find the truth of his past. Neither one cold change what happened or go back in time. Each action caused a chain of events that was necessary. There free will existed in the fact they had choice of there perceptions and effort to change what happened. Both failed physically, but there minds changed because now they where enlightened. For us to know if determinism was correct or not we would have to be on a metal level where as we over stand all. In real life we don’t have a script o tell us everything that was predetermined. History tells the future, although the situations change. Mathematics is constant one plus one will always be two, but our minds will always have the option of how we add subtract and multiply. .
