    The entire idea that objectively we are superdetermined marries a
    conjecture with apodictically self-evident experiential evidence
    contradicting it to a nonexistent and self-contradictory 'god's-eye
    view". One might as well say in theistic terms that Sweet jayzus
    knew who'd be caught up in the rapture at the moment of creation
    and the entire teaching/crucifiction thing was a masturbatory
    exercise involuntarily (as if volition would even exist to possesss a
    correlative opposite) engaged in because even god was a slave to
    causality, and master of no more than the sparrow that falls, just
    aware of his slavery more.
