Randomness (Episode 12b)

March 25, 2018 8:39 am

We discuss randomness (with a meandering random way of getting to it), then explain how the random nature of the universe is what gives us choice. Choice is the bedrock of freedom, and liberty. We then discuss the differences between the two, the need for limitations, and end up back in different views of randomness – the postmodern version, and the Torah version. Along the way, we highlight these ideas within the Book of Esther and the holiday of Purim.

This is a fun episode, featuring some bad InfoWars Alex Jones impressions, ruminations on apophenia and libations, and some personal anecdotes.

Happy Purim!

In today's news, the Israeli population is furious, society is increasingly angry and divided, and Bibi fires the defense minister who dared to put security first. Meanwhile, he tweets that electricity prices are going down by 2.4% next month.

Purchased at the YU Seforim Sale in 1991. Kol Dodi Haggadah, by Rav Dovid Feinstein zt"l. Used for the past 32 years, and it shows.

What haggadah have you been using, which lovingly shows its age and consistent use? Send a picture, too.

The great @EasterbrookG started a substack and I just subscribed. It's called All Predictions Wrong and I am genuinely psyched.

This album, the first by the Beatles.

Released 60 years ago today.

Please please me, indeed.
