Was that a typo? :)
I'm actually not kidding. It depends on the point of view. Suppose you have free will
and I'm asking
you: "Heads or tails?". From my point of view, your decision is totally random, but
you on the other
hand have total control over what you decide. Perhaps you have a two-headed coin in
your pocket and
always say head.
In this scenario, I would think that free will and randomness are equivalent, but you
would still
think they are contradictory.
What I see here is a platypus of SOM. Depending on whether you take a stand as subject
or object you
come to different conclusions about our reality.
What do you see?
