Unless we have a way to find out what that predetermined future is, it's irrelevant and you should proceed as if it isn't a thing.

    I mean technically, since we don't exist in a deterministic universe, we don't have a predetermined fate either, the concept of destiny or fate is a cope by itself. It's debatable that free will exists either. Perhaps neither fate nor free will exists, and everything is just a roll of the quantum die... Hopefully it's a D20.

    Also maybe there's some concept currently beyond human comprehension that makes it so that a probabilistic universe, deterministic universe and free will can paradoxically work all together.
