[John] And more to Arlo's point, making choice dependent upon chance has a certain truth ring to it, but I'm not sure I'll buy it. It makes ME and MY existence dependent upon chaotic chance. Shudders. Existential angst comes all over me.
[Krimel] We make choices as a way of influencing chance. We seek to improve our odds of attaining goals or achieving our hearts desire. That is what evolution is all about and all living things have some ability to perceive their odds in such matters and to act on them. Your existence is nothing but the outcome of lots and lots of random events. A particular sperm fertilized a particular egg at a particular place at a particular time. If any of those particulars had been minutely different, right down to the quantum level, you would be someone else.
