Though one enjoys reading Freddy J, one feels that he is is a touch too inclined to rely on terms like "inexorable." Upon first reading this passage, I hardly even considered it, because for him things are always inexorable, in the same way that whatever movie that one friend of yours saw last is the best movie ever. If there ever was a candidate for metanoia, it was him.
On the other hand, if we take him at his word (in this case, inexorable), it's a neat argument.
(Referring to this post, I assume.)
