But you haven’t caused anything good or bad to happen! It’s simply the passage of time and those events have/will happen(ed). So much for free will…
During a U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, Bono asked the audience for total quiet.
Then in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands. Once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone “Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.”
From the front of the crowd, a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet: “Well fookin’ stop doin’ it then ya evil bastard!”
