I stole the idea from this thread, but I want to ask the question differently.
If the man is wise enough to predict major* consequences of his actions in respect to the goal he pursues, is he really free to make choises? He would seem to be forced to act in the one and only optimal** way.
* "major consequences" means that all other consequences together can not outweight these;
** "optimal way" in mathematical sense, the one with the major consequences that would make goal achievement the most probable.
