Ironic coming from a member of an endangered species.
The opposing force is the idea that whatever exists is the result of luck, bad judgement, random choices or ill intent, rather than inherent or inevitable consequence.
It’s not linear. History is one of those machines with the balls that fall down randomly and form a bell curve.
inherent or inevitable consequence
Can you give an example?
For example, the seeming contradiction between the values good people claim to pursue in life and the contradictions to those they’re willing to tollerate.
That’s not a product of the modern deceptions of a globalised economy as some have claimed, it’s a product of the way humans are not capable of including the whole world in sense of what’s real
Is this a tautology?
nah. “what currently exists must necessarily exist”. it adds the “must”, as in, “the world could not be otherwise.” that statement alone is not contained in “what currently exists” so adding the “must” thus develops the statement further rather than just redoubling it.
