...hmmm. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "error" in this context. I suppose you have a right not to believe in chaos, but I definitely don't understand your equation of will with force.

...Margaret Atwood [whom I don't actually like very much but I keep
agreeing with her] elucidated "freedoms from" and "freedoms to" in
her novel "The Handmaids Tale" - which is instructive in several
respects. I have no beef at all with order. I do see a need for both
sorts of freedom though.
...but I can't understand the concept of "freedom from chance"

...just a query, how do you express your dissent to the use of force if you deny the validity of will?
