      Synthesis: Everything that happens is the same as everything that has already happened; nothing is new under the sun; history is a palimpsest worn to translucent thinness by constant revision that does nothing to alter the shape of our being.

    "Nothing ever happens" shouldn't be a doomer motto against accomplishing things, it should be a rejection of the idea that whatever current event is going to change anything. Because events almost never change things, and history is actually the accumulation of small fiddly factors. Personal computers took like two decades to change society, and that was a fast one.

    everything already always is. the potential movement or changes possible for a concept/phenomena must be themselves contained within the concept/phenomena. the oak tree is not a completely separate phenomena from the acorn, but rather a specific stage of the entire being of the tree-seed dichotomy/spectrum, the possibility for the tree already exists/is already contained within the acorn. yet the tree will not grow without the appropriate set and setting (soil, light, water, gravity, atmosphere, etc.), so these too must all be considered as a unified whole in some sense along with the tree-seed.
