I finished History Boys last night. The film touched on the philosophical fabric of the series of events we call "history". Not only how history is a product of the historian's perspective -- that's pretty obvious, but why/how people do certain things; take certain actions, make decisions. The fundamental drivers of events.
There was this fantastic line about, "the smallest of incidents, the junction of a dizzying range of alternatives." The line was followed by reference to "the utter randomness of it all".
Which got me thinking: What if I never found that blog? What if I never left that note?
