Happy Business People From Photo Library Hell Endorse Nu-Spin© Randomness Generator Dept.

Lost souls mutely screaming "HELP ME!"in stock photo hell, yesterday - base image ©deposhitphotos

"The team really pulled together for this product endorsement," sez Project Leader Cory Shitbeard [right - Ed.]. "Nu-Spin© technologies will streamline random selection of songs, enabling excellence for end users." Senior Inclusivity Officer Wendy Whitebread [second right - Ed.] adds "That's right, Cory! And the whole team brought individual skillsets to the table!" Consumer Outreach Officer Betsy-Jo "B.J." Swallow [far left - Ed.] and Office Supplies Officer Diversity Jones [second left - Ed.] both give "thumbs up"!

How do you, th' Four Or Five Guy©, benefit from hours of meetings that went into breakthrough decision? Why, it's simplicity itself! Simply connect Nu-Spin© unit to gramophone with cable supplied, sit back, and let Nu-Spin© take hard work out of random track choice!

List first five songs randomly thusly chosen in comment, earn grudging respect of confreres!




This post made plausible thru participation of Deposhit© Photos - your go-to image library of human suffering! (Other stock photo libraries are available.)

    Incidentally, the Nu-Spin was a real thing (although not used for music choice), and repays a little googling. As does the whole concept of randomness, which gets fuzzier the more you stare at it. Here's something from Baddha on the subject:

    "We ascribe a lot of life to chance, to randomness. These are labels we apply to something with causes we can’t see and don’t understand. The throw of a pair of dice, as an example. How those dice come to rest, the numbers they show, is the exact result of a series of interlocking and complex conditions that include; their position at rest in the cup, before the cup is shaken; the forces acting upon them and their relationship to the geometry of the surfaces in the cup as they are shaken; the spin and velocity imparted to them as they leave the cup; the angle and force of their impact with the table, and so on. If we could measure these forces and do the calculations, we would know that the way the dice come to rest is not at all by chance, but completely determined by the factors involved in the throw. That result was the only possible outcome for that throw. "

    When we click the shuffle button, something similar is happening, although most of the conditions that determine the outcome are impossible for us to see (or even imagine, in my case). Out of that, this.

    We are each and every one of us the result of a throw of the dice, but the only possible result from that throw, given the conditions - not at all random - that informed the throw.

    What's the point of all this Fine Thinking? Eliminating randomness, luck, and chance from our thinking - our lives - is as important as eliminating God.

      Dave, quantum physics, and its priesthood of adepts. is an attractive world because we admire brilliant minds working beyond our own limited capabilities. I don't understand a rainbow, or how a CD player works, leave alone what neurons are up to. I knew particle physicists at CERN (where my then wife worked) and they were as engaging as you'd hope, full of enthusiasm and energy and good humor, but they are no closer to the truth than you or I. The web of language and thought discipline they weave is fractaly complex and impressive, but it is no closer to the truth than anything expressed in ordinary language. The metaphor of the dice is good, and the underlying truth applicable to any event, on any scale, under any conditions. Dice we can at least see, and the metaphor is more usefully expanded outward (to planets) than down to molecular level.
