Didn't Burrough's MCP have this way back when? The public libraries even functioned as IPC, although you could still link privately & get
normal static binaries...

that's never been demonstrated in practice. The claim has been made, but
it's all notional and hand-waving.

Nietzsche's first step is to accept what he knows. Atheism for him goes without saying and is "contructive and
radical". Nietzsche's supreme vocation, so he says, is to provoke a kind of crisis and a final decision about the
problem of atheism. The world continues on its course at random and there is nothing final about it. Thus God
is useless, since He wants nothing in particular. If he wanted something -- and here we recognize the traditional
forumlation of the problem of evil -- He would have to assume responsiblity for "a sum total of pain and inconsistency
which would debase the entire value of being born."
