Where is the freedom if life is 100% baked into the lottery?

Your understanding of randomness, and therefore freedom, is the problem here. This comparison is not even worth engaging in.

 

In your world, there are no degrees of freedom, there is no potential in anything. Infinity cannot possibly express itself other than in a rigid crystallized manner. That's not how life works, life is free and organic. Just because your ego doesn't like the idea of it doesn't make it untrue.

You are just scared of lack of control, which is precisely what freedom is.

Intrinsic joy is revealed in the marriage of meaning and being.

This does not surprise me considering your main cognitive mode. :P

Randomness is probably just a human mental construction that is projected onto an underlying reality that has nothing to do with randomness.

Like that random number 1-10 you chose.
