hindsight bias?

[cacian]

'' knew-it-all-along effect or creeping determinism''?
How does this translate this phenomena into normal everyday language?

From what i have read so far and understood it means somebody remembering things because they have occured and not before. It cannot be a dejavu. Could it be described a memory rush or a trigger to something that one has said or heard ?

How does it occur?

Isn't this a bit like how everyone mow says they never liked Jimmy Saville, that they always found him a bit creepy? For someone nobody liked, he had a long career in show business.

[YesNo]

Until you mentioned "hindsight bias" it hadn't occurred to me that people who do not believe we have any free will whatsoever might be basing their beliefs on this bias.

That is very true. It is always after the aftermath that people have a judgement and not before.

I am not sure I understand YesNo. How do you mean free will?
