Absolute Zero

To stand and consider all possibilities, is to drown in a tunneling sea of infinite potentiality. Thus making free will, man's most potent mirage! - Xavier Renegade Angel

It is a statement that in practice our freedom of choice is limited by our analysis capability and the need to make decisions in due time. Although we may well want not to admit it.
I am a shopper. Super stores have hundreds of choices of things to buy. The choices are so many some people can not shop in superstores. It might be they "feel like drowning" like Xavier Renegade Angel says. Does a person's reaction to too many things make a superstore merely a mirage?
Not the superstore itself, but its usefulness as a source of many possibilities.

I can't get past the humor of someone posting a quote from Xavier Renegade Angel.
On a serious note what LuisDantes says makes sense. We cannot consider all possibilities and as well we do not even have infinite time.
However, is the man who refuses to consider more than a handful of possibilities and acts accordingly an example of free will as not a mirage.
That people are filling their head with worthless pretentious quotes.
Is an insult. To say "it is a worthless pretentious quote" is not an insult.

It's a bit vague to me, but it seems to be saying that since we can't possibly consider all possible possibilities, there is no such thing as having an absolute free will.

Sounds vague and not particularly well thought out.

Sounds like someone who thinks free will means that if a person wanted to fly by simply flapping their arms, they should be able to...

Based on what little I know of the show, I never will.
You really only need two options, and the ability to choose between them, for free-will to be viable. You don't need all the possible options available.

I find it lacking, because there are many things all possibilities are easy to consider and many things all possibilities are impossible to consider, but neither situation or any in between will leave your drowning.

You're not missing much. The point of the whole show appeared to be mocking gurus and other religious leaders. Nearly twelve straight minutes of surreal, stream of conscious wisdom statements applied in a ridiculous manner.

My dear sir/madam, you just said, that he who thinks, profoundly, is the most profound fool. Is that why we think what we like?
