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).

    Yes, but not in the way you are imagining. It sounds like you’re almost imagining you’re fundamental self a material/objective/determinate.

    Yeah, I was somewhat thinking like this when I posted the question. I was wondering whether apparent randomness is ever “really random”, which seems like a misguided question upon reflection. Phenomena are never “really” anything in particular.

    BTW, it’s good to see you around. I’m relatively new here but I’ve benefited from reading your old posts while learning about SI.

      Thanks! I should probably go back and review what I wrote because there are probably things I’ve changed my perspective on.

      > Phenomena are never “really” anything in particular.

      Exactly
