I don't know there has been pretty much sadistic destruction throughout history. Where has it really been an ascendancy of beauty without being coupled with destruction?
James: don't really believe in predetermination. Mostly based on my own experiences mostly in the criminal justice system where the most destructive people were shaped by F'd up upbringings. I believe if I take the road to the left when I reach the fork it was my own choice. If everything were predetermined I would never get outta bed b/c I would be guaranteed to end up the same lawyer w/o taking the Bar or law school as if I slept for the next month?
The one thing I did learn from philosophy is there is no certain way to ever know the answers to these types of questions definitively. so it may be interesting to muse about it here and there, however, since you won't get a real answer, there are better things to do with your time such as attempting to fix the destruction and slowly end the cycles of nothingness among generations. I do believe that all of society is important at all levels and everyone is going to fit in it somewhere, but you have a choice as to where and your choice is not going to be any less than someone elses.
