God maintains constant and growing, though never complete control of the given. Nature has formed our ears open; but enabled us to shut up our mouths. Truth pertains to the judgment of the person who judges correctly…hence, it pertains to the person who judges with evidence would assert. Proof must be built up stone by stone. The end crowns the work. It is not enough that Justice should be morally certain; it must be immorally certain—legally, that is. A true judgment is a judgment that cannot contradict an evident judgment. Thus, true in it is true that God exists, may be used to express apodictic rejection of evident rejectors of God. It is not both true and false that God exists may express apodictic rejection of collectives consisting of evident acceptors and evident rejectors of God. True may be used to express agreement and, at times, it is simply redundant. The assumption that there can be absolute chance is self-contradictory and indeterminism (the state of being uncertain or undecided) is incompatible with the existence of human responsibility. Divine nature is God’s will and neither created nor necessarily approves.  

However, we have the freedom of will in that we are able to bring about some of the things we desire to bring about and are able to deliberate and then to decide accordingly. Moreover, we can will to will in that, at any given time, there are things we can do that will affect our volitions at some later time. Feeling does not stay to calculate with weights and a balance the importance and magnitude of every object that excites it; it flows impetuously from the heart, without consulting the cooler responses of the understanding. Since knowledge involves reference, it is always hypothetical and tentative. Coherence is not as formal as consistency, but as a principle for interpreting experience: a statement or a set of statements is true to the extent that it organizes and orders experience. Reality is a society of person: the ultimate (uncreated) Person and finite (created) persons. Reality is thus not nature, but history. While our social critics attack the highly visible and denounce them as undeserving of their tremendous salaries, power, privileged, and control over society’s opinions, what these critics really seems to be angry about is that they themselves does not control the process.   

Critics of celebrity culture will never be able to control image formation. The root causes of why people want—indeed, need—celebrities are so basic as to render the critics’ complaints superfluous. The public choose to worship Ryan Phillippe and not the editor of some newspaper and that is not necessarily destructive or damaging. It is, to the contrary, often valuable and certainly worth understanding. So great is the value of visibility that the manufacturing and marketing of celebrities now reaches into business, sports, entertainment, religion, the arts, politics, academics, medicine, and the law. Visibility is what every aspiring news reporter wants, what every professional seeks. It is the crucial ingredient that can make lawyer X the most sought after in town, talk show host Y the most popular in the village, and surgeon Z the most highly paid in his or her city. This is the potential of industrialized celebrity manufacturing, the unimaginable in any other age—and compensating that individual with unimaginable rewards. Today, there is a whole industry that manages the business of transforming unknowns into celebrities, changing virtually every element of personality, appearance, and character that is possible to change. They are manufactured, just as are cars, clothes, and computers.
