If you knew your future

could you change it?

I mean if you change it doesn't that mean it isn't your future? Will everything you do to try to change it ultimately put you back to what you were told was your future? But then what happens if you kill yourself when you know your future is that you will die at 85 and you're 20. Just a thought.

[quote=WorkOfArt]In my opinion, it is impossible to see the future and then have that exact future happen. It's a basic 10-dimensional theory concept. You knowing the future would change your actions or mindset when doing certain things, and would ultimately change your future. For example, if you see that you become a rich billionaire with a hot banging wife, then you may slack off or take it a bit easier, and when your expectations don't start happening, you would begin to panic and make irrational decisions that would lead to a different future.

That being said, if you knew you'd die from a heart attack at 85, as you approach old age, you may attempt to increase your healthiness, and you'd live a longer life. Or, if you thought you'd die anyways, you'd increase the fatty foods, thinking that no matter how much crap you eat, you'd still die at 85, thus changing your future inevitably.

Unless the future projects you knowing the future, but then it would just create a complicated wormhole..[/quote]
Simply ingenious.

But what if the future that you saw happened BECAUSE you saw it. I mean like, if I see my future that I will die next to the Empire State Building when a chair flails on my head or something of course I will try to avoid the Empire State Building at all costs. However, while running as far away as I could, I find that I'm running towards a statue of the Empire State Building and then someone throws a chair at me that kills me. That would mean that the future I saw depended on me seeing it.

I wouldn't ever want to know or see my future. What's the point/motivation for living if you were to know the outcome? Living your life to the fullest would be meaningless.

I always thought to actually change the future. Your future cant change. If you are suppose to die at the age of 85 but hang yourself at 20 that kind of makes no sense to me. Your future shows you are going to die at 85 even if you try to change your future your future self already tried that, if you do die at 20 that means your future was incorrect because your future showed you are going to die at 85, if you try to change suddenly your future self probably did that.

For example if you are going to die while getting hit by a train when walking to school, and you decided to stay home. Your future self knows you are going to stay home and does stay home and you eventually get hit by a train or something. I don't know .__.

What I just typed out is very confusing and probably no one will understand

IF your future is to die at 85 from an heart attack and you try to commit suicide in your 20s... that only means you will miss your shot on every try.

I'm not making this a destiny/fate rage fight. I'm saying that IF destiny and fate were rue, then what would happen if you we're told your future.

Well, wouldn't me seeing the future want me to change it, but in the process, leading to what I already saw in the future because seeing what's in my future was part of what makes my future my future.
So basically wouldn't it be like That's So Raven
