>do these games lead to different sets of possible end goals or not, by design?
They do, but these end goals do not automatically necessitate you to reach them.
In another word you can run around in circles at your spawn.
>No. The observable phenomenon is that everything and everyone exists in relationship with eachother: the direction of cause / effect is in superposition and a false dichotemy.
Interesting hypothesis.
Method of proof?

>you aren't sure
Nor are you, and nor do you have a way to experimentally verify.

Free will is synonymous with consciousness. The p-zombie verification Hard Problem applies equally to free will. People can conjecture all they want, but at the end of day there is no proof either way, and the closet possibility of getting any proof I've seen is >>15927531, which none has been able to pull off yet.

>How the fuck is astronomy even considered a science?
It's not. The entirety of astronomy and cosmology is built on the single assumption that physical laws as we know them out there is the same as it is on Earth. Every single conclusion in this field is an extrapolation of this assumption.
If this assumption turns out to be false, then stars might not be suns and the galaxies might not be stars and every other thing you were taught since highschool might be complete bogus.
Point is, at the end of the day unless you can fly out there you actually don't know what the actual fuck you are really looking at.
