In my mind this seemingly simple question of dice-roll and randomness is connected to a whole bunch of bigger philosophical questions;

1. What is (or should be) the relations between empirical science, our metaphysical views, our (self)conception of humanity and our moral beliefs?

2. Is there genuine randomness or genuine free will? Is the universe just a big machine, or how is conscious deliberation related to the movement of material particles?

3. What is the method of empirical science? Is empirical science capable of verifying or falsifying all of our metaphysical views?

Well, I think we will get back to these in blog entries to come =)
