...choices? To be more specific, lets say you could predict accurately some of the most obscure actions a person takes throughout their day, to the point where you could show up where they will be, or have their preferences already prepared even though it's not a routine for them, or sell them something right at the time they're prepared to buy it, etc. in other words you know them better than they know themselves.

but lets say that this works only with very normal people. people who try very hard to be normal. lets say it doesn't work with abnormal people, people who are erratic, people who are on meds or drugs, people who go throughout life with no worry over how normal they are, or just original thinkers. in other words, the people who are not "sheep".

what would be the moral implications of this?
ok, i forget the movie name, but i know which one you're talking about. that one had more to do with predicting the other type of person, though. specifially the criminal, or potential criminal. what about predicting just the actions of the mundane people?
 
A horrible real-life enactment of a horrible Tom Cruise sci-fi vehicle.
