-> `Reality' as you posit it requires a "now" that contains the  
-> fruits of all your *future* visits to the past. 
 
-> For that to be true would require the future to be as fixed as the  
-> past. 
 
-> While I'm aware of good evidence that humans don't enjoy the  
-> freewill they think they have,  your `reality' here would remove  
-> even the charting of new courses by true random chance....which  
-> itself would necesarily be illusory. 
  
I agree. In a sense, it would mean that every event, in the past, 
present and future, in some sense already "is". 
  
If that's the way it is, then that's the way it is.
