Is Fate Accompli...?

No. Fate is not a fait accompli. If we don't have control over our fate, we at least have the illusion of control over our fate.

I see you have entered into the spirit of philosophy, *Doug*! (looking over half-moon spectacles)

In response to your observation, I say:
Or could it just be an *illusion* of an illusion of having control over our fate? Nha'ha! (scientist equivelant of baddie laugh).

Well, if the illusion of having control over our fate is itself an illusion, doesn't that mean that we do, in fact, have control of our fate?

My answer is still "No," to fate accompli.

Also, I think the word illusion has lost all meaning to me.
