Just my 5 cents worth of thoughts:

Randomness = Absence of any order!

Free Will Is always deliberate (and don't let the "Free" fool you).

Thus, Randomness would be counter-active to Free Will.

... so, as I mentioned,
The "disinterest" of philosophy in hunches, though, is interesting, since it can be shown that most philosophies themselves derive from someone's hunches. Nevertheless, hunches are among the most widely-shared aspects of our species intuitive faculties and therefore would seem important. And, as well, from some hunches some of humankind's greatest monuments and successes have emerged.

We possess a spectrum of senses which are additional to our physical-5. And it is this spectrum of senses which are grouped together under the venerable terms of "intuition" or "intuitiveness."

***>>> Important note: intuition is composed of sensed feelings which result in the hunches of intellect, for a hunch is a cognitive analysis derived from what has been felt. (i.e. Intuition is a FEELING!!!)

It is therefore of little wonder that there are so many problems regarding the "developing" of one's intuition. If definitions are being used by one's intellect which are inconsistent with the true aspects of intuition, then those mis-definitions will warp one's cognitive biomind grids regarding of what intuition really is.

Intuition always occurs relative to something else --- with the relationship often being felt before it is cognitively understood within the intellect. Those individuals who are reasonably good at spotting-sensing-feeling relationships between things usually have a higher quotient of intuition!!! (thus, most of females are better predisposed to it) -- intuition takes place without the benefits of rational reason.
Indeed, there is hardly such a critter as a "rational intuition." All intuitions are sensed feelings --- and an overly large share of them fly directly in the face of reason and the so-called rational. *** Consequently, modern (science which is based upon pure logic, i.e. reason) rejects Intuition!!! (sense- feeling was inferior to "pure" reason detached from them, and as such was of no scientific or philosophical interest.) All of the human superpowers of biomind, including the many identifiable types of intuition, telepathy, clairvoyance, and remote-viewing are directly based in sense-feelings. And all of them have been stigmatized as nonrational, hence irrational, during the modern age of rationalism dominated by the pure science-fiction goal of "pure" reason.

*** Modern definitions of intuition avoid the inclusion of the feeling-sensing always associated with real intuitive episodes. Thus the modern definitions are inconsistent with virtual intuition, and are hence intellectually misdirecting.

DO YOU MIND?
That's my chest you're starring at!!!

IF YOU CANNOT READ WHAT MY SIGN SAYS,
COME CLOSER, CLOSER, CLOSER...

(wow, not that close!!!)

Oh, don't worry, its not forever, but only for the first 60 years. And then you get used to it!!!

However, if all your doing is (i.e. Nothing), then how do you expect to break the boredom???

Unless you take on some responsibility for your own life, NOTHING will ever change!

I don't know whether the rockets look like tamales, but I'm sure they would, probably, wear big Sombrero hats on top of their helmets!

Thank you, mr sheppherd, for your valuable input -- worth of at least 5 cents... However, Experience is NOT what I consider the Intuition! You better read the whole thread before trying to impress us with your intellectual genius!

Poor fellow -- he always gets forcibly dragged into compromising situations...

One billion instead of three???

Yeah, when the gooing gets tough, the tough gets going!

LOL, I envy your confidence! (or self-delusion?)

The value of an achievement is comprehensible ONLY in comparison to other achievements.
But in the state of total contentment and satisfaction -- with no needs or wants -- the most important aspect would be missing, i.e. Frame of Referrence! Whatever you do -- or Don't do -- your happy either way! With nothing to strive for, there'll be nothing to achieve...

("...Imagine all the people living for today..." -- HE WAS A DREAMMER!!!)

Certainly, it would be enjoyable... for a week or two, or even for a month, or two, or three... (you wan' it -- you got it!) *** But without needs or wants -- without a chalenge -- human spirit will deteriorate into that of an animal!

Surely, the will be a price to pay for such an utipia -- and that would be BOREDOM!!!

P.S. Though, modification of people's perception -- from the active Paticipant to the active Observer -- might eliviate the possibility of the boredom from settling in:
IDIOTS are always happy!!!

"Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can..."

Yeah, if I had a couple of million of dollars at the bank -- earning a few thousands a day in interest -- I might be more receptive to the spirit of sharing wealth and resources!!!

GET OFF MY BACK!
and face me already...

So why are you sneeking a pick?
Are you hooked? ? ?

Not every bolt fits any nut
(... suggesting otherwise would be totally NUTS!!!)
Are you totally BOLTS???

wux -- BRAVO!

* HELP! Looking for a BOLT
to fit my NUT
