8. Intentionally makes each choice with free will, fully aware of the fact that the consequences of that choice are being selected in the same instant. The laws of cause-and-effect remains in force as reliably as the law of gravity. Being aware, of as many of the probable and possible consequences as we can foresee, helps each choice to be a better informed one and keeps the unexpected consequences minimized. While Society shrouds death in mystery and taboo, everybody knows it is coming for their body, too. This serves as a clear example of some qualitative structure to the future. Death itself is not a choice of free will awaiting us in the future, but rather a consequence, the direct result of choosing to be born. We literally said "Yes" to picking up this body, with all of its evolutionarily state of the art enhancements. With excellent care and feeding its self-repair will keep it running well for a hundred years or so before we put it down again. That yes included the additional agreement we made to bring none of our vast knowledge with us at the beginning. There are no restrictions on re-acquiring that knowledge and re-minding ourselves thereof. Doing so greatly simplifies the apparent complexities of living life.
