Question about free choice (deleted due to the website glitch)
Hello Rabbi. Lately, the Rabbi has been talking about free choice. I have a simple suggestion for a solution to the \\\”contradiction\\\”. It is clear to me that the Rabbi will reject it, I just want to know why. Theoretically: Why can’t it be said that the entire script that is predetermined for a person is also chosen by the person. Let’s say that it is known that a certain person will choose a certain thing, does that mean that at the moment of choice he had no choice? He feels that he chose! That person feels that nothing external to him forced him to do what he chose to do. It seems to me that the relationship to my question lies in the question of what is the definition of free choice. If you define it as a feeling of choice (not in a way of imagination but in a way that it is really the choice). After all, a person has free choice (and it is absolutely irrelevant that it was known in advance that he would choose a certain thing, and even the fact that his choice had circumstances that led him to the act he chose to do is irrelevant). Thank you very much!
