Either there is true randomness, or way too many factors for us to calculate at this time. This included the possibility of different dimensions we can't observe, but they can still have effect on us.
In any case, it is as good as random from our perception.
There are too many factors, but I was suggesting that there was no true randomness.
Just remember, when I say 'know everything', I mean know everything, beyond humanly possible.
PHeMoX, you speak about factors that affect your decision apart from genetics and character. What if I knew all these factors. No human can predict what another will do. But could someone who knows the 'everything' I discussed earlier? If there is no true randomness, then your whole life is laid out in front of you. No chance. There is no choice. Therefore you have no choice.
Like a computer with no random(); (even that I don't think is really randomness, just to simplify things). It will always do the same thing with the same situation. Whether it has feelings, desire or conscienceness like a human is irrelevant. It will always do the same thing, in the same situation.
Ofc, this depends on whether randomness or chance exists, especially in the human brain itself.
