you see, in coding/videogames, there may be something you refer to as "rng"
but it's not really rng at all
here's a quick example
in super mario 64, there is an rng function and an rng value. the rng value is used as a parameter in the rng function when it is called, and the function does stuff to the rng and it spits out a new rng value
but this isn't random
instead, it's a cycle of values that goes around and eventually loops back to the start
this is not random at all
now, in real life, it's the same deal: there is no such thing as random
when you throw a die, there are a billion factors that affect the results of the throw, such as throw speed, air friction, landing surface, angle, and so much more
it is very possible to manipulate these results so you get the same roll or a déŝirẵbłế rőłł
luck is a subset of random so it is automatically a spook too
therefore randomness or luck isn't real. it's just a spook and our excuse whenever we lose a game of monopoly or ssb4 |

so because there's one loop that goes around every 10 millennia, that means randomness doesn't exist

luck may not be real, but you can be lucky <
as in, the factors that effect the die, or whatever it is, maybe happen to be in your favor |

"so because there's one loop that goes around every 10 millennia, that means randomness doesn't exist"
absolutely
also the cycle takes about ~6-15 minutes to loop once depending on how many "rng" based operations are occuring in game |

Luck and chance is real:
Ecclesiastes 9:11-12
“I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. Moreover, no man knows when his hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so men are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.”
God rules over luck and chance:
Proverbs 16:33 “The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the Lord.”
Explains why I get such terrible luck whenever fail here:
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
I see the way out but I'm too lazy to go there. I need to work on that. Good luck usually follows when I resist these properly, speaking from experience |

@vitya
okay fine luck is debatable
coincidence is a different story (i no longer know how to feel about it)
but randomness truly does not exist |

| My idea of luck is fixed on that cause it's written in sources greater than myself, but I agree that everything happens for a reason |

spook doesn't mean it doesn't exist, omega spooks exist as ideas or social constructs they're anything that's not entirely physical

who decides what's a spook and what isn't
are you sure it's not just a concept you've made up to define anything you disagree with? |
