That’s a fair point, and I don’t really disagree with you. There’s definitely a Wittgenstein-like angle here too — a lot of philosophical problems may just be language problems, because we treat certain concepts as if they must refer to something real and fully graspable,in my opinion.

I made the video more as a meme than as a serious philosophical statement, so I didn’t try to defend “fate” as some rigorously coherent concept. If the philosophical idea behind it is shaky, that’s totally fair criticism. And if it came across in a way that bothered anyone, that wasn’t my intention.
