every event has causative factors: i am writing this in response to your original post: your philosophy professor asked you to: the curriculum states that he had to: the board of education set out the curriculum: politicians were appointed to the board: politicians were elected on the basis of rhetoric: Zelot voted for those politicians...
ergo, this is all zelot's fault.
i meant this to be a serious expose of determinism against free will, saying that there is no such thing as determinism, that its all a coincidence, but i have convinced myself that determinism exists, and that it is zelots fault..
