I am definitely a fatalist, but for me free will is more or less like
one of those stories you read where you can choose the next chapter.
It's already has a predetermined ending no matter what path you choose.
Some people suggest this is a way that a person relieves themselves of the
responsibility for outcome. I'm not sure if I'd go that far, but how can
you believe that whatever you do will have no effect at all?
I can get my mind around it if I take the viewpoint that it has all
already happened (i.e., look at it from outside of the time vector).
It's not a viewpoint that gives me much pleasure though.
