So unless you identify your will with physical law, the self-other distinction is merely hidden - the source of your random decision lies inside the evolution of the state vector, or whatever it is. But I admit I'm still reading through the paper, so I may change my views once I manage to do so. I've almost reached section 3, at which point I am hoping to discover why it's called "Knightian" randomness - I'm hoping it has something to do with Knights and Knaves! :D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
