Morris-ey. You've lost me. Are you saying that every individual's existence is posited on all the events in world history which directly preceded it?

You may be right. However, the logic of this argument supposes that, if world war 1 had never happened, I would not now be sitting here keying this in. That's probably correct, because my mother would presumably have been born pre-1914 instead of post-1918. Ditto for my father, which means they might never have met and I would have been a completely different person.

But in what way would this justify world war one?
