Fate,Freedom & foreknowledge

OK,getting straight to the "niddy griddy" of it all i think Chapter 8 In "The Matrix and Philosophy" was rather intriguing. Fate,Freedom, and Foreknowledge is what it was based on. Professor Smith said the simpler thing would be fate for the fact it is already planned out,which i completely agree. From what i have read fate goes back to the ancient Greeks. The oracle in the matrix compares to the ancient Greek Oracle at Delphi. They both have the gift of prophesying(determine fate). To a certain extent i think Neo's role in the film kind of shadows Alexander The Great,even though Neo wasnt on a mission to find the oracle,i think it has some type of ties to each other. What i found interesting was that the kings and generals wouldn't emerge in ample task unless they consult with the oracle of delphi first. That brings me to; how on the matrix all of the crew had to see the oracle after taking the red pill.
Such as fatalists,i believe that no matter what choices you make in life, whatever is meant for you is for you. Its so many different aspects to view it on because we live our lives as if it is free will but still live under rules and regulations. If broken we must deal with the consequences in the end. Sited on page91 in "The Matrix and Philosophy" The mythical greek king Oedipus was phrophesied that he would kill his father and marry his mother, just so he wouldnt go through the foretold future he left the city but still ened up fulfilling the prediction. "Fatalism is the belief that whatever happens is unavoidable." and in that situation it lived up to the definition.
