So this is a brief post... after a long hiatus.
Life is crazy.
But more importantly, I saw Interstellar this past Monday. First third is less than enthralling, but the last two-thirds are great for the most part.
However, I feel like what the main character goes through is in one sense what it means to have pre-destination and free will exhibited. Not exact, but at least a display that sort of makes sense.
When he's in the black hole, he attributes it to more developed humans, but let's say that's God at work, and the black hole is a place of higher understanding almost Heaven like. In this state, he sees the effects of all his actions with a higher sense of clarity. He also sees how his actions in many sense are orchestrated to some extent, and the influence upon his actions, by all the books he drops etc. However, in all those moments, it is him that does all the actions. It is him who "chose" everything.
Okay, this isn't exact at all because hey he's influencing his own actions, but in the realm of someone else observing it all and providing momentum.
The real thing is that the entire time he really thinks he's done everything of his own volition, but in one sense he hasn't. Ugh... I can't explain it well, but the idea is there. For lack of a better way, I can feel it.
Maybe if I wasn't blogging at work, I could flesh this out more. Oh well. But watch Interstellar, and tell me you can't get a glimpse of what I'm saying! haha.
