I’d like to hear your perspectives on randomness. This question has implications for the understanding of othering.

Is true randomness possible?

If not, this would be a limitation of mind.

If so, it also feels like a limitation of mind (inability to predict/know the outcome of an event).

    If you designed your own computer game you’d want to include some degree of randomness otherwise the gameplay would be expected and boring. You might even want the world to generate randomly to add to the experience of adventure and discovery.

    Right, this is an example of othering. My question could perhaps be rephrased as this: how far can othering be taken?

        It’s also noteworthy to point out that this duality you stated is also a concept that you have othered. Ultimately the mind (in the context it’s used on this sub) is not bound by any limitations or rules.

        /u/VLSIHeaven I hope this answers your question. If not please let me know.
