Life Is Random

That one phrase you use when the weirdest, strangest, most random out of nowhere thing happens.
“Hi, so guess what, I was taking my cat for a walk-“
“People walk their cats?”
“Your getting distracted, lemme talk. Anyway, i was walking my cat, and there was this cucumber just sitting right in the middle of the sidewalk!”
“You called me up just ti tell me that?”
What can i say, life is random.

The Polar Randolph

The sexual act of feeding your lazy wife a high fibrous diet, collecting and freezing her scat, then fashioning the loosely phallic shaped object into a ribbed dildo.
The higher the fibre content, the veinier and with more sweet corn the mamba will be.
The Jewish skin flute is then forced back into the wife’s butt when she’s asleep. Extra points are given if the fabled DVDA is successfully administered.
Randolph: Honestly doctor, I’m not sure how my comatose wife ended up with so many rectal polyps!
All I did was give her The Polar Randolph and she was fine for a while. I was administering some amyl nitrite up her wizard’s sleeve for a bit so she could butt chug. Yes! That’s it. It must’ve been that that caused all those colon lesions.
Doctor: Thankyou for that frankly horrendous explanation. Anyway, the waiting police officer would like a word with you!

Determined or Random

I'm glad that you brought that up because it takes me to my second problem with determinism. Let's try and visualize your argument.

D

>ID - ID

R > R

ED
So, and action is either Random (R) or Determined. If it's Determined it's either Internally (ID) or Externally (ED) Determined. If it's Externally Determined, then you have no control. If it's Internally Determined, then the internal determination is either Determined or Random. And I'm guessing that by "Determined" you mean "The necessary byproduct of an antecedent chain in which the actor or mechanism could not have done otherwise," Correct? Is that close? Does that make sense? I feel like there are a lot of presuppositions that need to be unpacked.

Hym "So, how is asking whether or not something is determined or random any different than asking whether or not my bedroom is hot or cold? It's both. And neither. It's, like, luke warm. So, you presuppose the absence of a grey area between determined and random. That random and determine don't exist on a spectrum in the same way hot and cold exist on a spectrum. As though thinks can't be more or less determined or more or less random. Is the outcome of a coin to more or less random than the outcome of rolling a 20 sided dice? You could say that the outcome is determined I guess. By the exact about of force used to roll the dice or flip the coin.
The relationship between the material of the dice and the material of the surface of the table or the conditions of the air in the room you're flipping the coin. Also, if we accept 'determined' as 'the necessary byproduct of an antecedent chain in which the actor or mechanism could not have done otherwise' you presuppose that what happens in response to a given antecedent chain is what OUGHT to happen in response to said chain. So, Antecedent Chain A -> either Outcome A or Outcome B. If ACA -> OA then you have to presuppose that what ought to happen in response to ACA is OA. If ACA -> OB then, again, you're forced to presuppose that what ought a happen in response to ACA is OB. But if the likelihood of ACA leading to OB is 1% and it HAPPENS ANYWAY... What you have is NOT an outcome that 'couldn't have been otherwise' but, rather, SHOULD have been otherwise and wasn't. Ya feel me? So, I know this doesn't demonstrate free will but I don't think you have been able to successfully demonstrate that there isn't a point at which 'the self' is not the fundamental locus of control in any given choice. It's a good argument though. It's tricky. But it's like a weird semantic blackhole. It's like saying 'Well, if you don't actively control the firing of your neurons, you don't actually control yourself.' Just weird. Determined or random."
