1024. Slowly, sloowly creeping thru Toad on a Cretian Fern.
Yeah, I got nuthin. I could rant about a variety of things, but why bother, really?
Actually, read a bit of Maimonides. Finished the latter half of Part II of the Guide for the Perplexed, which is far more exegesis than the hard-boiled philosophy of the earlier half. In the last chapter (XLVIII), a propos God-as-cause, argues that "the providing of a cause, in whatever manner this
may take place, by substance, accident, freewill, or win, is always
expressed by one of the five terms, commanding, saying, speaking,
sending, or calling. "
So no real distinction exists between an "active"/"passive" or direct/indirect cause, and even "the prophets therefore omit sometimes the intermediate causes." Lady Luck, oh my!
In other news, the trichotillomania's worsened.
