- stdbrouw 14y agoLuck are unexpected good things that happen to you and that you didn't work for. It has little to do with randomness in a physical sense and thus philosophical discussions about determinism aren't really relevant in this context.
- Jayschwa 14y agoLook further down the discussion chain. confluence has been telling people to "learn physics" and seems to be equating luck with random chance or determinism.
- confluence 14y agoLuck is merely preferable random chance. I never argued for determinism. I argued for probabilistic determinism.
- carlob 14y agoStill our brain is, for all practical purposes, a classical machine. No quantum effects are observed at the neuron level. So we can't use indeterminism to save free will.
