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.
