Accidental



Do accidents events in nature and in society really occur? I believe so. I do believe that  random, without-cause events, unpredicted and unpredictable, do naturally occur. These events are without causal precedent, supernatural or innate to the world's operations.

These events may cause us harm or just be of minor irritation, but they are just unforeseen, free-ranging, arbitray, unmanaged occurrences, predictable only in the sense that they will occur to us sometime or maybe often during our lives, long or short.

No hand guides them. Perhaps only omniscient/clueless Fate can anticpate their occurrence.

Accidents are not just necessitated events whose causal forces have not yet been discovered or explained. Some of them are just what they are, whereas others may one day be reviewed as part of a causal chain going way back, or arising spontaneously from nothing.
