John Carlos Baez (npub1nf4…nqe4) I have a question with probaly no good answer: let's pretend the world is completely classical.
Is there a good way to explain why it "feels" like there's randomness at a macro scale, even though everything is deterministic? It feels like ignorance should be a part of this.
I guess I'm asking for a synthetic theory of probability without random variables that makes some kind of sense.
Maybe this is a well-known solved problem.
