The only person in life who’s free at all, ever, is a person who’s impotent. Like me. Or what do you think freedom is? Unlimited potential? Unrestricted possibilities? Hellfire! Impotence is freedom. When you’re incapable of anything, no one can expect anything from you. Power has its own limits—even ultimate power. Only the impotent are free.
Free to never make a difference.
Covenant makes an argument for apathetic nihilism, but like all his intellectualizing - it's just a form of justification to avoid actually caring about anyone else.

He talks a talk, feels something else, does something else again, and always, always, always, - nothing lines up in the chaotic miasma of his incoherence.
