So, the will, the Nation, and its freedom. Much is said about the lack of this freedom, arguing that everything is determined by the past and by the very nature of things. The present moment is at best a local illusion, and in any case, there is no conscious access to it, so the possibility of any decision is also illusory. However, this does not change the fact that one must proceed as if the will were indeed free, because the matter of ethics is of the utmost importance and remains at the center of human tragicomedy. Thus, free will is to be a convenient illusion, and whoever believes in it a useful idiot. Those who do not believe – having the same influence on anything, which is none, a sage.

Infantile nonsense, if you ask me. Similarly shocking evidence contradicting apparent reality was presented by, for example, Zeno of Elea. Opponents of free will stop at the holy conviction that the hare indeed will never catch the tortoise.

But still, whether Jasiek lost his horn, or maybe he didn't lose it, just hid it in a sudden enlightenment, and then forgot, or maybe he didn't forget but carried the burden of this secret for the rest of his life? I don't know. And if he lost it, could he not have lost it? And if he couldn't, then does it come out to the same thing as if he had hidden it? I don't know, I don't know.
