I do believe in fate/predestination. I'm not a nut about it, I still go about doing things normally, it's just something I believe in. Now, while I believe in this, I do still believe that people are responsible for their actions. You still have free will, your choices still matter. It is simply that your choice and the outcome are predestined by your past experience.
Now Dianetics makes this even easier, with the risk of the scientology connotation. If Dianetics is a real thing, and not just some idle fantasy, then it backs up my beliefs.
To kind of take a step back, here's an easy way to explain it: You are faced with a choice. The decision you make is based on your past experience, and the current situation. In an infinite number of realities, if all the variables are the same, the outcome will be the same. Nothing is random. You are still responsible for your actions.
Hm. If anyone wants me to go into more detail, I will, but I'm sure some will have a lot to disagree with.
