    • 1108 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the author of ‘Fooled by the Randomness’ discusses whether modern humans are often unware of the existence of randomness. Taleb argues that humans tend to explain random outcomes as non-random, a provocative opinion which has really inspired me to take further interest in Statistics. The first time I read this book, I was intrigued by some common but interesting cases. For instance, many real-life phenomena are not 50:50 bets, like tossing a coin, but have various unusual and

    On the other hand, Rosencratz and Guildenstern are Dead already assumes a universe governed mostly by chance and capricious randomness. For instance, the occurance of having 89 heads in a role while flipping coins at the beginning of the play, hints that it is an abnormal dreamworld, instead of the reality, just as the spining top within the film Inception, which differentiates illusion and reality.

    Free will is an often debated, and arguably overly analyzed topic. Theories abound stating anywhere from that there is not the possibility of free will to free will being a possibility with the theories to back up the claims. Addressing these theories and their arguments, both for and against should allow a person to come to a personal conclusion about the issue of free will, though the debate will undoubtedly continue long in to the future. This paper will discuss the views of Dennett and Skinner

    The Free Will/Determinism Paradox Most of us humans, I would guess, prefer to think we have free will. That is, we prefer to think we are able to make choices or decisions based upon our own unique volitions. Such thought appeals to our vanities.

A detailed discussion of randomness and free will are presented

    Why Do Free Will Exist

    • 6 Pages

    Free will is something that everyone thinks they have no one has ever thought that that maybe all the choices they make were already predetermined billions of years ago, or that our brain makes choices before we are consciously aware of those choices, or that the laws of physics are deterministic and that everything we do follows these laws.
