But the fact we are unable to predict the future with the precision is not evidence of lack of knowledge. It's evidence the universe is generating new things.

Statistically, but sure, I can say statistically what's going to happen, but then when they do happen, and you keep nesting it together, I mean, it goes almost back to, let's think about entropy in the universe. So how do we understand entropy change? Well, we could do the process. We can use the Agurdic hypothesis.

We can also have the counterfactuals, where we have all the different states, and we can even put that in the multiverse, right? But both those are kind of... They're non-physical. The multiverse kind of collapses back to the same problem about the precision. So all the... What you... If you accept you don't have to have true and false going forward into the future, the real numbers are real.

Do you believe or do you accept you have free will?

So then you have to believe that time is fundamental. I understand that's a statement you've made. Well, no, that we can logically follow, because if you don't have free will... So, like, if you're in a universe that has no time, the universe is deterministic. If it's deterministic, then you have no free will.

No, it logically follows. No, no, I don't disagree. I'm not saying any... I mean, it's deep and it's important. All I'm saying, and it's actually different to what I've said before, is that if you don't require Platonistic mathematics...
