Are we truly free or are our thoughts and actions pre-determined? If they are pre-determined, why do we have the ~feeling~ that we're independant agents, making choices in an indifferent universe? If we're free, can we opt out of that freedom, or are we "condemned to be free". If you put a cat in a box with a radioactive atom and a geiger counter hooked up to a hammer which smashes a bottle of acid if when it detects decay, is the cat dead or alive before the box is opened?
