Re: Fate?
And yes I also believe in fate. The only difference my day-to-day decision makes is how fast or bumpy I arrive at that fate.

Good point. I agree. I think the different worldlines in the book are what the author uses to tell us this. Though the worldlines are similar there different actions being taken which lead to different outcomes. Even subtle changes can make a whole of impact.Ldpuff wrote: ↑01 Jul 2021, 08:03 Fate is a tricky concept for me. I do believe the author believes in it, yes. The linkage between actions and outcome was obvious. For me, I have a hard time believing that no matter what actions I take, the path is already laid out for me. I prefer to think there is a general plan for me, but I have control over the details.

I see your point. I think you are making an excellent point. I do see where that it is in the lucid dreams that Gary is able to impact the other worldlines. So fate is the result of some action taken ( lucid dreaming).

We have those types of choices as well. We also come across fate that happens no matter what our choices are.
But in this book he seemed to keep each one explained well and had the story flowing smoothly as fate took over or as his own choices went into effect.

Fate is something pre-determined while here nothing feels certain accept the choices that people make and what the effect of those choices would be on themselves and others.
