    Quantum Heraclitus:

    Whereas we can both agree that the future is probable, your usage of "desire" and "fantasy" still urk me. They all imply conscious processes, when it is clear that conscious processes are a minority.

    How can one "desire" to travel to that which doesn't exist prior?

    Energy cannot simply be time, as one can reach objects at different times. Moreover, it takes infinite energy to propel a mass to light speed. Why is this true if energy = time?

    Yet this is absurd, as clearly only a miniscule fraction of a fraction of this existence is populated by conscious beings. Moreover, there is nothing which differentiates conscious beings from non-conscious beings in regards to determinism. Ergo, there is no real choice, only necessity, which is guiding us all. Unless, of course, you can present to us the means whereby conscious beings transcend the demands of causality?
