What did he mean by this? Seriously?

Some nonsense about 'seize the day' and achieving one's fate and full potential, but worded in an incredibly awful way.

"On Novels: each plot-event is preceded by foreshadowing. But, without the protagonist, there is no plot." Nonsense.

Maybe: "Life is an expanse of fixed branches and roots. But, without the hero, those paths will decay." With some fixes, ofc, but I haven't had my morning coffee.

One can easily translate this obscure wisdom into Marxist terms: "The general outlines of each revolutionary event can be foretold by social theorists; however, this event can only really take place if there is a revolutionary subject." Or, as Badiou might put it: "Only if there is a subject, can an Event occur within an evental site. " Which is why, for Badiou, the different modes of subjectivity are simultaneously the modalities by which the subject relates to the Event —echoing Kant's thesis that the conditions of our experience of the object are simultaneously the conditions of the object itself. Badiou elaborates four such responses: the faithful subject; the reactive subject; the obscure subject; resurrection.

Much better post than mine. We can conclude Mr. Green is in fact a crypto-Marxist attempting to reinvigorate the revolutionary class that Adorno and Horkheimer had decried for their absorption into state-capitalism.

Everything major human event is determined by destiny.
What destiny doesn't determine is when these events will happen so that there is a degree of freedom of will to individual who can choose to either anticipate or delay said events.
