    Determinism doesn’t argue that everything is predetermined. You’re confusing determinism with fatalism.

      Sorry, i’m not into the counting angels on tip if the needle which idealist philosophers tend to do every time someone call them on their silly ideas.

      Also, going by the definition, if we think of certain decisions (assuming we talk about humans), how would anyone even know what was determined? It strikes me as completely pointless endeavour, even if the prediction works most of the time.
