Chance is the incidental congruence of events that are "for the sake of something." The "house-building faculty" of the person who builds a house is the cause <i>in itself</i> of the house; but, say, his musical talents are only an <i>incidental</i> cause. The person possesses the "house-building faculty" for the sake of something, and he possesses musical talents for the sake of something, but the congruence of these two things in the person who built this particular house is incidental (by chance).<br /><br /><i>Why is Shinbro getting drunk?</i><br /><br />I noticed there was a moment where he was seeing "phantoms" when looking at the television -- which, perhaps, he can only see when drunk. Maybe seeing these phantoms is the means by which he can perceive how chains of events unfold -- and, more interestingly, see the congruence of these chains, thus allowing him to "predict" chance events.jmhenryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108615537455993311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447603865959500290.post-51732901806800284432015-04-17T07:55:36.885-04:002015-04-17T07:55:36.885-04:00Why should the coincidence become any more meaning...<em>Why should the coincidence become any more meaningful if your Prius is parked by the field where the farmer plows?</em><br /><br />I'm not sure what's meant here by 'meaningful', but couldn't it be possible that the sound startled the ox and/or distracted the farmer?<br /><br /><em>promises of revivified male performance.</em><br /><br />...? What has the woman's actions have to do with 'male performance'? Which males? Where? Why? Is there a competition of some sort? What kind of competition is this? Why is there a competition?<br /><br />I'm not sure I have enough to go on to speculate about what the prologue has to do with the story. But I'm not sure that 'cause' is always interchangeable with 'reason,' and it's possible that I might get into a 'discussion' with the narrator of the prologue, should I ever meet this person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447603865959500290.post-51890045189471833802015-04-16T19:55:48.008-04:002015-04-16T19:55:48.008-04:00Perhaps the baby who was saved will grow up to be ...Perhaps the baby who was saved will grow up to be Hitler 2.0, so Shinbro must steel himself to go back and ensure that he dies (but perhaps chance keeps getting in the way).FSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762231549016961049noreply@blogger.com
