If furture is determined and would not affect by whatever your choice is, then in effect all choices are the same one, or no choice at all. On the other hand if furture is affected by whatever choice you make and you *know* something is going to happen to you if you don't do this and this, then the thing you do to affect the furture will make your foreknowledge false, then furture is not deterministc at all, and nobody will be able to know about it.
