The Four Horsemen (Alternate Version)

The four horsemen of the apocalypse appear in Revelation, chapter 6, in the Bible.  Most people know about them and a lot of people study them.

I'm not a Bible scholar, but I was curious what type of interpretation I could find by using different translations of the Greek from Strong's Dictionaries.

Free Will is Absurd - What You Don't Choose

Let's start from the beginning.

I'm working with what is apparent based on experience--our perception of reality, existence, as it appears to us in life.

None of us requested to be born; we certainly didn't get a say in who our parents would be or the circumstances of our birth.  Genetically, we inherit an awful lot of behaviors, traits, physical and mental attributes, and all sorts of other stuff which pre-disposes us to be a certain way.

Free will?  I don't remember casting my vote for this!

We cannot think except in pairs.  Something and nothing both gives and takes meaning from itself.  When an idea is introduced, it is understood in relation to something else; yet, if this something else is also an idea, then which idea is real?

Let's explore some of these duality traps on today's discourse with the Socratic Ape.
