8-Ball and Freedom

[f13ticket]

I have found the source for all freedom. It is the 8-Ball!

I am damn determined to free myself from determinism. According to this site, I need to find random thought. Sense this may or may not be possible in the human brain, we can use our 8-Ball to help us.

So, it only makes sense that true freedom comes from the 8-Ball! All hail the 8-Ball! If the 8-Ball is too predictable as it might be still "ruled by laws of inertia, gravity" then perhaps I can create a random number generator that gives out 8-Ball responses.

In so doing, I can choose to run every choice of my life through the 8-Ball in physical or digital form. Then, if I fallow every outcome, I will have actively had victory over every determinist in the world!

Bitching.

Flip a coin.. yes or no. :D
8 ball has 10 yes, 5 no, 5 maybe.

I think it would be kind of cool to use an 8-ball as some kind of divination tool :) if you treat it as something sacred and apply the intent that you're using it for synchronization purposes in your life... however with there being more yes's than no's/maybe's it might make it a little difficult to get a fair outcome.

I sometimes use a coin as a decision maker, let fait decide.

They really don't say maybe, rather, try again. So, in any given question, there is 10 yes answers, and 10 not yes answers.

Actually, the 8-Ball is a divination tool and was designed to be.

if you count the 5 maybes as a try again:

10 yes (y)
5 no (n)
5 try again. (t)
=
2 y
1 n
1 t

t in terms of y and n
1t = (2y+n+t)/4
4t = 2y+n+t
3t = 2y+n
t = (2y+n)/3

So:
2y + 2y/3
n + n/3

final outcomes of magic 8 ball:
2 2/3 yes or 67% chance
1 1/3 no or 33% chance

I think I'm right..:confused::D
