I’ve always felt “predestination” is a funny way to phrase it. I get why it was chosen (the destination of your soul is already determined), but I think “deterministic” is better. It’s a really useful frame to understand that what will happen is what was already going to happen, and it’s just that you subjectively don’t yet know what the future will be and couldn’t compute it with certainty even if you tried (that’s why we give probability estimates for things!)
