You seem to be assuming that "random" must mean "uniformly at random". A weighted die that 99.99999% of the time comes up "3" is still random, but not uniformly

You seem to be assuming that "random" must mean "uniformly at random". A weighted die that 99.99999% of the time comes up "3" is still random, but not uniformly random. The outcome of the die roll is nearly certain.
- hmsimha 13y agoI think you misunderstood tomp's message. Certainly they didn't mean to imply there was the chance our actions are uniformly random. Rather, the question seems to be whether there is a truly random component to our decisions. The dichotomy lies in the contrast between determinism and the possibility of a truly random quantam process.
