Who believes in random events?
 

This may be too deep and philosophical and ---- for the HMT crew, but I figured I'd ask anyway just to see how people would respond.

So we were tripping one day, and somehow the thought of "random" popped in my head.

My belief:
Every thought is based on chemical reactions in your brain. If it were possible to get the state of every atom simultaneously, and we knew exactly how the brain (and everything else) worked, it would be possible to predict everyone's reaction to certain stimuli or events.

---- doesn't just happen out of the blue. It's always a reaction to something else.

I don't think we'll ever have the technology to actually gather all the needed info and compute it, but I believe that in theory it's possible.

Throws the whole "free will" ---- out the window.

Never seen it, but have been meaning to watch it for ages.

It was either psilocybin or 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylthio-PEA ( :P ) I've tried coke once, never done crack, never will do coke again.

That was interesting! Never seen it before.

When I think of Random, I think of Christopher Cross.

Wow, that's elementary old skool there...

Very odd. I've never heard of this for the 23 years I've been alive. You mention it today, then later a friend links me to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (www.venganza.org come and worship) and on page 2 of the following brochure, it mentions the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

Fine, don't appreciate my random thoughts. I bet you clicked off it before it was done too, trick bitchboy. Click off this one and tragedy will strike.

Re: Who believes in random events?
 

Kinda completely unlike Donnie Darko. He was stuck in a repetitive time loop meant to eventually force him into the one action that would repair the rift in space/time. At no time was that choice something he wanted to do, it was something he was forced into, and was never his choice which is why the movie insinuates in a couple places that the movie's storyline does not depict his first time through the loop.

To be honest, I had no ------- clue what it is and did not click on it. Instead, I chose to spout a seemingly random comment.

I'm listening through this ----, something better blow up into a fine mist of blood at the end, before my skull does.

I'll come clean, my comment wasn't random, I thought you were posting something like this:

They are both old school as ---- though.
