Self-contradictory nonsense. The two essays are based on an asserted unpredictability that leads them (inexplicably) to predict, among other things, a reduction in minimum wage to $5, the shooting of an innocent in broad daylight, a war waged with Russia because of a perceived slight, and a devolution of the nation into Peronism. Predictable evil is preferred to the unpredictable? Would Hillary strive less for power than the Donald? Would she be less likely to drag us into a war or destabilize the world?

I just tried this experiment, only in a more controlled environment. Instead of a donkey, which is an organism subject to changes which might affect the perfectly set up equi-attractiveness of two hay piles, I used a steel ball, set up to drop exactly on the center of another steel ball mounted perfectly securely on a concrete slab anchored to bedrock. The "choice" I tried to establish is the angle at which the ball bounced after striking the mounted ball. I dropped the ball and, as planned, it struck the other ball dead center and bounced directly up towards its starting point. Fell again
