If you could see into the future...


... but could only see how and when you died, would you want to know?

(sorry for the slightly morbid question... but im just curious)

edited to add: and once you know, you still can't do anything about it (koc )

I say no, simply because I think it would take the "fun" out of it.

You enter into a wonderful paradox there then, KoC. See, if you KNOW when you're gonna die, and you stop it from happening, then you didn't really KNOW you were gonna die then. Maybe if you could see when/where you were gonna die, that it would be irreversible and bound by fate.

also - how do you know that trying to change it doesn't actually play right into the way that you foresaw you were going to die?

No cause if you can changed the future like vince said then you'll just make it worse cause you'll die some other way. Anybody seen the movie Time Machine? No matter how many times he saved his fiancee she dies anyway but she dies differently everytime he changes the future.

you have an issue with it in general or just how it's going to happen?
