i forgot what this is called but it is a discussion point in the free will vs. determinism debate
It quite simply goes like this...

a person offers you a choice between a dead mouse or chocolate cake. Which would you choose?

most of the time a person would choose the cake.. But the question lies if you were still acting under your free will so select the cake. Because how do you know the person who was offering you these things influence your future actions because they KNEW you were going to select the cake.. i.e. your actions were determined.



forgive me if some parts dont make sense im in a rush lmao... This goes out to everyone beside Priime who would select the dead mouse..
