Chuck Klosterman\'s 23 Questions #16 Canadian Football
 

Someone builds an optical portal that allows you to see a vision of your own life in the future (it's essentialy a crystal ball that shows a randomly selected image of what your life will be like in twenty years). You can only see into this portal for thirty seconds. When you finally peer into the crystal, you see yourself in a living room, two decades older than you are today. You are watching a Canadian football game and you are extremely happy. You are wearing a CFL jersey,. Your chair is surrounded by books and magazines that promote the Canadian Football League, and ther are CFL pennants covering your walls. You are alone in the room, but you are gleefully muttering about historcal moments in Canadian football history. It becomes clear that- for some unknown reason- you have become obsessed with Canadian football. And this future is static and absolute; no matter what you do, this future will happen. The optical portal is never wrong. This destiny cannot be changed.

The next day, you are flipping through television channels and randomly come across a prseason CFL game between the Toronto Argonauts and the Sasakatchewan Roughriders. Knowing your inveitable future, do you know watch it?

Yes

Dids,

What if the portal is only right because you say yes to this question?

Re: Chuck Klosterman\'s 23 Questions #16 Canadian Football
 

No

Re: Chuck Klosterman\'s 23 Questions #16 Canadian Football
 

Nope. I'll avoid my demise as long as possible.

Re: Chuck Klosterman\'s 23 Questions #16 Canadian Football
 

absolutely not

Shajen,

I had the same question.

However, let us assume a non tricky manipulative portal.

Re: Chuck Klosterman\'s 23 Questions #16 Canadian Football
 

An inerrant destiny is a ridiculous concept. I won't watch the game out of spite.

Re: Chuck Klosterman\'s 23 Questions #16 Canadian Football
 

Not unless I had money on it.

Re: Chuck Klosterman\'s 23 Questions #16 Canadian Football
 

Dids,

in that case, screw that, I'll hold off as long as I can.

I'm a stubborn ass.
