From a post about high fantasy on Tor.com, referencing a Le Guin short story:

"This story taps into primal powers back when the world itself was still a primal thing."

Is the world still a "primal thing"? Discuss.

From:

Mm.

I wonder what the primal force today is, then. I suppose what you think it is depends on how you see the world.
