Pic unrelated. If probability exists, then doesn't 'luck'

>If probability exists, then doesn't 'luck' exist?
No.

>But 'luck' is what drives what marble you get.
If it's truly random, then nothing drives what you get. You're just naming nothing "luck".

>>8464356
'Luck' is what chose what marble you'd pick.
Luck pushed you to not 'make the choice', but that the marble would end up with you.

>'Luck' is what chose what marble you'd pick.
Nothing chose what marble you'd pick, in the hypothetical situation in which marbles are chosen randomly. In real life there is a physical process which leads to a marble being chosen which appears random because of unknowns and chaotic processes. Again, you are just calling nothing "luck". You're saying anything meaningful.

Luck would be the best thing to fill in the unknowns. Doesn't luck fit in to the definition of chaos? Lucky and unlucky, red marble, blue marble. Luck isn't an entity that 'chooses', it's the means that ends that cannot be solved by a direct path, but probability occur.

>Luck would be the best thing to fill in the unknowns.
How is unknown information luck? That makes no sense at all.

>Doesn't luck fit in to the definition of chaos?
No. A chaotic process is a deterministic process that is hard to predict because the result varies greatly with small changes in the initial state.

Again you aren't saying anything, just arbitrarily naming things "luck"

Luck is too hard to predict, because it IS what many try to predict. Probability is a measure of luck. Luck is stored in the 'sides' of a wager or context.

I was watching my friend play a card game, he was trying to Mill out his opponent. He played a card that said "Pay X to flip X coins, Mill 2 cards for each heads". This greedy fucker needs to mill like 8 cards to win, only 4 heads. So he pays 16, and only gets 4 heads.

No one tries to predict luck. That doesn't mean anything moron. They try to predict the outcome of some event. Probability is a measure of how certain you are some result is going to occur based on the information you have, which should be equivalent to the proportion of events with that result if the event is repeated infinitely.

>If probability exists, then
Nope it doesn't, its just a formal mathematic abstraction used to represent mathematical problem where no clear answer can be found, most of the time for missing information, rather than being an inherent property of a system like in the Uncertainty Principle

Now In practise this mean instead of just getting 1 point like answer, you get an Area or distribution for a solution.

Players make the game more interesting. Free will is only possible outside the context of a completely mechanistic pre-determined universe. This is only possible if will/emotion actually has an influence on the material; in one form or another.
