so big even You can’t lift it
Irate Frenchmen have been staging riots at Paris universities for mysterious Theory-guided reasons for far longer than “France” in any meaningful sense existed. It may be that the Lascaux cave paintings represent an early form of this; that the Gravettian-Aurignacian horizon represents a destructive dispute about the correct way to interpret arrowheads. But the earliest Theory riot enjoying proper documentation was over God’s omnipotence. God, of course, is omnipotent by definition. Can he limit his own omnipotence? If not that’s a constraint on his omnipotence, but if He does so, that would create a constraint.
This generation of discourseposters would eventually go on to invent nominalism, which helped Theory discover that God indeed surpassed any “by definition” limitations, and also that He was dead, allowing us to invent heliocentrism, the theory of evolution by natural selection, 24 hour cable news, the demise of GNS theory, and all else the modern world rests upon.
Is blorb a limitation on GM omnipotence, of the divine right to Make Shit Up? Yes, but like the excessive rock, it is an endogenous limitation. As GM you make up what is established fact, what is procedurally generated, and what is made up on the spot by fiat.
It is one form of freedom to be able to say, “this is an established fact, which not even I can gainsay.” It is incompatible with other forms of freedom. And not even God can change that incompatibility.
If you think office kipple is boring don’t spend time on it! Unlike God you cannot see every sparrow fall. But if you like you can say “I make a covenant with you, sparrow, and you, this +1 sword, and you, beloved office office kipple. You may not always be, but you shall always have been.” You may stretch out a rainbow as sign of your everlasting faithfulness.
