Seeing into the future isn't such a big thing, just as seing tons of gray clouds in the sky and guessing that a storm's coming isn't such a big deal; everything we do forces others to act in certain ways in a giant chain-reaction...
Wait a minute. Our brains would have to be fused with every other brain on the entire planet and have teh calculating abilities of NASA's most expensive computers to be able to successfully realize the consequences of each split in a chain to follow the right path and correctly fortell teh future? Get it? Each choice makes a split in the chain (kinda like the dimension split) and each choice leads to more choices, then you add in EVERYONE ELSE'S choices and you get this whole mess or links and chains and crap. All in all, wrong theory about human knowledge.
See, in what I was explaining, there aren't any choices. There's always one path through that whole mess or links and chains and crap. For example, what I'm typing now influences what you'll type in response, if at all; you have no 'choice' in the matter technically, for your past experiences and environment force your decisions. I guess you weren't really saying otherwise, but I'm just trying to say that it wouldn't require making a whole branching tree of events (that's how I think of it, though I think there's a better phrase for it), and would just require making one path...
V_Translanka: I said that 'abstract ideal' thing because, as far as I'm concerned, whether Kid was Schala reborn or her clone really doesn't impact me that much; Kid and Schala SHOULD combine or however you'd like to phrase it, because Kid is the 'good' side and Schala is the 'bad', and both are incomplete without each other, so Kid DOES 'use' the 'good' side and, because of it, appears to be 'bad' to us (with things like revenge) since she has no opposite to balance it out. The reason why I think, despite what the game says, or what is agreed on here, Schala and Kid SHOULD reunite is irrelevant, but I thought I'd explain it; anyway, I'll move on. I'm really too lazy to try to understand any lessons or morals or anything from whether Schala and Kid actually do reunite despite their need to, so whether it's decided on that they do or don't has no real impact on in guiding my thinking... However, I do believe those 'abstract ideals' that I stated, and, to me, the Schala/Kid reunificiation is just what happens in a video game; basically, if someone shot down what I said at first I'd be fine with, for it's just a video game and the actual scenario is all in fantasy, but I was expecting people to shoot down the 'abstract ideals' because I actually believed in them, as opposed to my nonexistant belief that Schala and Kid are real and reunited in real life. Ugh.. I talk too much... Basically, no one expected what I said at first to be concrete, but some poeple ignorantly believe only 'concrete' things and then shrug off anything they don't want to believe by calling it abstract, and I guess what I said was just a warning.. kind of.
Daniel: Wow, until I read your reply, I never thought there was any sense behind predicting the future based upon the past, and I thought it was just people who liked to believe that history repeated itself... I never even thought that what I believed was basically using the past to predict the future.. however, I think of it in more of a personal history way, not human history way because I feel like if one (it seems weird for me to use 'one', and I normally try to avoid using 'one' or 'you' at all, but I can't find a way around it now, so don't think that I'm mocking or anything) knows human nature, there's no need to know history; human nature predicts what happens in history, as far as I'm concerned
Ugh, I really have to go read Lord of the Flies.. <_<
