Personally I respect what I believe to be an inherent
self-authority of others; understanding full well that none of
us may be entirely even in full control of our own
self-authority of choice/will but we are each subject to
biological constraints and enculturated assumptions about the
nature of things... Nevertheless, even within those
contraints... I believe there is some sort of freedom within, of
even the tiniest sort.* I do not believe in "inevitability", not
even of creatures or mechanical systems... not in this Universe.
In our mathematics and ideals, yes.* But when the map is spread
out over reality, the messiness shows itself quite plainly.* In
short, plan as though wilt while God has the last laugh as it
were.* Randomness is not a good authority to appeal to for all
things, for there is choice involved, which is not random, yet
it is not full predictable either. I do not care for excessive
people authority over people but a reasonable amount, sure, at
least to give balance to sociopathic tendencies with humanity or
narcissism.
