Greetings,
Magnus. I see SOM again thrown in as an almost infinitely broad catch all for anything
people
disagree with or do not understand. (i.e. The devil done it, guv!)
>From your point of view (and in the example you present) you do not see a random
>decision at all,
you see one determined by my will. If you ask me to choose between heads or tails you
would not come
to the conclusion that my decision was random, you would conclude that it was
determined by my
choice of whether I wanted to predict heads or tails. From my point of view I see a
decision
determined by my will. No difference, no contradiction and no problem. Both our points
of view
conclude that my will determined my prediction. You may not know what my will is going
to determine
before I pronounce my choice - in other words you are not party to the decision making
process going
on in my head - but ignorance of the outcome is an entirely different matter and not
remotely
related to whether you think my decision is going to be decided for me by some random
force or by my
own will.
