Does True Randomness Actually Exist? ( ^&*#^%$&#% )

is it determinism to want ben & jerrys karamel sutra. im so hoping so. feelings a guilt as my tastebuds have a sleigh ride and my uvula quivers w/delite !

karamel sutra.. lol. ben & jerry are kinky like that?

personally, instead of blaming determinism, i just pin the whole craving/temptation business to agency, since it covers how we feel, respond, and make choices on a personal level. it keeps all the useful parts of free will, drops the questionable ones, and since its compatible with determinism, it just makes way more sense to frame it this way. not sure how to explain this better, but it works very well. maybe wiki can help..

...then today is the first day a the resta my life. lets test behavioral agency. see if i can behave lol !

ur brain is beautiful ! ...why ?? ...cuz i said so - that why lol !

so to kinda put a end to the dice thingy ? ...if u are trying for parity (say...1111, 2222, 3333, 4444, 5555, 6666 w/ 24 dice) then starting w/ (6) dice and rolling into a infinity # a dice ? ...then theres a ~97% chance that u WONT EVER-EVER make parity. of course ur best single chance is shake #1 where its 1/64.8 that u hit it (or abt a 98.5% chance u dont hit it).

Make a scratch game with a random variable rotating every 2 seconds. Then note them down. If they repeat its random

I have flipped a coin 8 times head in a row, which is rare

The very first link in this thread is an excellent tedx lecture exactly about that if you care for this sort of things. personally, i rarely use the word rare.. lol, but that’s because i used to flip coins for their numismatic value, which means to acquire unappreciated scarcities and then certify them for their real quality and value.

if u spin a penny on a table itll land on heads 80% a the time.

Nostalgia..

i SOOO luv this painting !! thanx sliver !

It’s beautiful but I’m afraid it’s not a real painting. my guess is either some digital work or an Ai junk. 
here’s another empty chair, but when it comes to the quality of the work there’s no comparison, as it was obviously done by a super skilled individual.

Hey Guys, I joined chess.com back in 2019. This was one of the forums I commented in. Throughout these years, I played on and off. I recently got in a car crash, I am in bed, and opened chess again, to see this forum still alive! How is everyone!

Here is a random painting.

This is a genuine painting by Ivan Shishkin. It is one of my all-time favorite paintings and a true masterpiece.

still getting used to appreciating paintings that u can take w/ur mobile.

what do you mean? like digital paintings vs real ones?

“Here is a random painting.” Or “It is one of my all-time favorite paintings..”

cant be both random and your all time favorite..lol. just teasing, thanks for posting it.

I’ve looked it up briefly and it says something about being a sort of collaborative work, where Shishkin painted the forest, and Savitsky painted the bears?

Here’s Shishkin’s study..

The 'bears' appear to have collars. In #4354.
Three of them appear to be dogs.
The one at top left could be a bear cub perchance.
