Re: Evidence regarding your alarm clock.
Do you believe that there is anything that is 100% proven? To date, the vast majority of theories only work 99% percent of the time, if not less. Personally, I rely on percentage of occurrence and validity, instead of what is most accepted.
I have to admit, it is pretty funny talking about exploding alarm clocks and all. I'm truly petrified.

Re: Evidence regarding your alarm clock.
Yeah, I do believe that, if only on the empirical level.
Concepts can be 100% correct, but only concepts. Nothing else.
And the universe is randomness. Humans are random beings as well, because no two beings have the exact same reactions, even if their DNA structures are identical. However, the two organisms (no matter what class) will have SIMILAR reactions and actions.
However, chaos does not beget order. Remember that. No matter what anything or anyone tells you. Even if it is random.
Because even the random things have order.

Re: Evidence regarding your alarm clock.
"Chaos" is not synonymous with "randomness." Randomness can apply to anything. Whether it applies to humans or inanimate objects, no two things have the EXACT same patterns. That's what I mean.
And I hate picking sides.

Re: Evidence regarding your alarm clock.
Randomness is unpredictable. And of course, unpredictability is randomness. So there you have it.
By "exact," I imply something that happens at the same time, same place, and has the same pattern. Even two atoms can't achieve that level of harmony.
Do you think humans will be able to achieve that level of harmony? Even technology has its limits, for humans are not all-powerful. However, we have logical superiority over the rest of nature in the sense that we are endowed with creativity.
Everything this world has to offer is limited. Even the human brain.
And Mr. Amadameus, I am on your side.
