re: #83 Cato the Elder
I believe the legal term is “act of God”.
Nature cannot act. It’s all a big piece of reactive clockwork, slowly winding down.
“Consider the impasse of a one-god universe,
He is all-knowing and all-powerful.
He can’t go anywhere since he is already everywhere.
He can’t do anything since the act of doing presupposes opposition.”
- Burroughs
What’s the difference, really?
