If this means that this will increase morale of others, then why not?
For me mere existence of luck factor means that the system is not build for the people but for the benefit of the owners of the system. Its a bit like with the casino - in the end house always wins because the system is build with them in mind and not the players.
- goatlover 4y agoThe existence of the luck factor is life. The house is the universe. Who you're born to, where you're raised, who you meet, what sort of advantages and disadvantages your particular biology affords you in whatever environment, what sort of ideas you might randomly come across, etc. There's no gaming that and there's no system that can make it all equal out. Someone buys a lottery ticket and they win, we don't take all their winnings and redistribute it because there would be no reason to play the lottery. Or gamble. Or create a startup. That we even exist as a species instead of some non-avian dinosaur descendant is the luck of a mass extinction event.
- v-erne 4y agoSure, luck inherent to the nature and reality. We cannot get rid of it and cerate totally deterministic system. But that does not mean that we cannot minimalize it and that somehow it has inherently good value. I could argue that almost all our civilization exists because we eliminated randomness from our primal lifes.
