The absence of free will which would result in a purely deterministic
universe would cause you to always want to do what the clockwork of your
constituent particles could dictate. This is based on the idea that all
the particles have definite masses and trajectories which always
interact as classical Newtonian Kinematics would dictate. Or; that even
given certain quantum mechanical strangeness-es -- or what have we --
all particles are still destined to only go where they were headed. 

Am I wrong, anyone?
