-
The Underground Man is upset about--if I remember correctly--
-
he's upset about the fact that
-
two plus two equals four
-
and there's nothing that he can do about it.
-
So he curses existence,
-
curses God at having made him so impotent
-
that he can't change the fact that two plus two equals four.
-
And another philosopher, Descartes,
-
in thinking about God's omnipotence,
-
thought that it wouldn't
-
be good enough if God as omnipotent couldn't
-
change the facts of mathematics.
