I like that you brought up Popper's critique of hard determinism. yes it seems to me that we run into the same paradox by first positing a coherent and cleverly comprehensive universe in which Individual (1) One, that would be me in this case, in which I suddenly find myself called to ponder the intra and extra mural probabilities deriving from whichever 'creation myth' I happen to select. That prior sentence is so contorted it barely sqeaks by the proverbial RAZOR, or does it? You tell me.
