Your actions are unpredictable, even if determinism is true. On the other hand, known random behaviour such as radioactive decay is highly predictable. Determinism is not synonymous with predictability and randomness is not synonymous with unpredictability. And "generating your own words voluntarily and freely" is consistent with determinism or randomness or else it is incoherent. -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
