      nah. “what currently exists must necessarily exist”. it adds the “must”, as in, “the world could not be otherwise.” that statement alone is not contained in “what currently exists” so adding the “must” thus develops the statement further rather than just redoubling it.

    The opposing force is the idea that whatever exists is the result of luck, bad judgement, random choices or ill intent, rather than inherent or inevitable consequence.

    It’s not linear. History is one of those machines with the balls that fall down randomly and form a bell curve.
