Sadly people are fulfilling the very probable nerd stereotype of aggressively misunderstanding philosophy and then trashing on it. I'm not sure how someone could even come to the conclusion that living an improbable life = swerving into oncoming traffic, but here we are.

"Luke Rhinehart"'s The Dice Man isn't the stagecoach of life I should be riding?

Damn.

Sadly people are fulfilling the very probable dilettante stereotype of acting like pretentious crap actually has meaning.

Did you actually read the fucking sentence and think about it?

It doesn't have to be swerving into traffic. It could just be not showing up on time to get the kids to school. It could be sexual assault of a minor.

In general, a good life involves showing up for people and supporting them. If you do that well, people come to expect it, and then...

Well, guess what? In a huge, important (to others!) part of your life, you become rather predictable.

Are you majorly autistic? Or have you just generically struggled to interpret the basic context in which authors say what they say?

Yes, I thought about it instead of just taking it literally and equating it with acting randomly or without purpose.

And yet, here you are, predictably defending your interpretation.

Why?

Go forth and do something improbable!
