Is it neither black nor white? Even to say that it is both black and white is not sufficient to describe the checkered pattern of it. This is like free will. Somewhat deterministic, somewhat indeterministic, but not meaningfully describable in terms of either of those qualities or lack of qualities - it is orthogonal to that dichotomy as spring and fall is to winter and summer or blue and yellow is to red and green. There is no gibberish involved, it is crystal clear. Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
