“The world repeats itself, but, whatever laws it might obey (if any), they are not such that the human mind can grasp or predict them. It is circular in the sense that it is not progressing (morally or scientifically) toward any goal but rather endlessly repeating an interaction of forces that we label good and evil in order to make sense of them. Not that the world cares about our labels. If our world can never be fully described by any law that humans can know, then we cannot be its masters, either intellectually or in practice.”
