"Taken together we therefore have determinism with the occasional, random quantum jump, and no combination of these two types of laws allows for anything resembling this intuitive idea that we can somehow choose which possible future becomes real." How do we know that the present moment is deterministic, the whole of the present is only the result of the whole of the past? Don't we have to know/understand everything to draw such a conclusion?
