Hmm... bad choice of philosophers to quote on that one:Originally Posted by Byzantine Prince

In short: Nietzsche discussed the idea of 'Eternal Recurrence', where everything that had ever happened occured in an endless loop in exactly the same way. I tend to think for him it was more just an intellectual exercise--a way of avoiding nihilism by developing a moral heuristic in the absence of the absolute--but either way, you really shouldn't quote Nietsche to defend the opposite.
Just FYI.![]()
