You are an average individual with an average life. One day you wake up at the citadel of time. You meet a person that controls the flow of the universe. You are asked to choose between two options: a) to replace the person and take the spot to control the flow of the universe and b) to kill the person and let the universe shape its own path uncontrolled.

To control the flow of the universe means:
a) You control the events that happens throughout the time, meaning people’s lives are a subject of a predeterministic path (no free will)
b) You have the absolute say to what happened, happens, and will happen in the universe

To kill the person means:
a) The world will have free will in determining what path that will lead them
b) There is a possible chaos due to uncontrolled path of the universe

In either scenario, you will have the full knowledge of what you have chosen to do.
