>>11144161if something happens 'randomly', what is meant is that it happened indeterminately. as in, there actually was a reason it happened, a pre-determined reason at that - but it may have happened so quickly that the human eye or measuring device just gives up. this is especially egregious against a human eye, which may consider something as slow as a simple coin flip to 'randomly' produce either a head or a tails.
more often than not, the phrase of 'randomness' is intertwined or outright confused with 'probability', an entirely different concept.
all in all, 'random' is the equivalent of a caveman watching an airplane fly through the sky. the caveman thinks it's magic because it's beyond his scope of understanding. Is it actually magic though?
is anything actually 'random' though?
no.
even the creation of this universe wasn't random. the creator just completely misinterpreted what "give me something new" meant, and seemed to disregard that all universes before this one had already validated as 'something new' despite sharing common rules, themes, and freedoms. So that's why we live in a universe where retarded and terrible shit happens.
