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).

    Is true randomness possible?

    Probably. A university in Australia is measuring the rise and fall of virtual particles in a vacuum and outputting a stream of numbers based on it. Conventionally speaking, that’s pretty sound.

    Whether or not either order or chaos is primordial has been a question since antiquity. Depends how you look at it. ☯️

    On another level, taken personally you’re essentially asking whether or not you can surprise yourself. Not sure if you’ll get an acceptable response about that from an ‘other.’ If you did, why would you believe them?
