Probability is a thought arising from interactions of thoughts..
Speculations like probability are the products of brain processes
evolving from accidents of birth/genes/evolution and quantum randomness.
Epicureans and Buddhist philosophers do not believe that brain/mind is
static/permanent thing/object. It is a process of change as we all are
from birth and beyond.
Ideas of free will/probability arise out of fear of the unknown. Why
fear death when death is just a concept?
In the final analysis, we are all changing forms of energy which can
neither be created nor destroyed.
Some thoughts live on after the physical matter changes from solid to
quantum bits. Information, thoughts/ideas are preserved in
books/computers and internet. Thoughts were once products of
consciousness, brain/mind activity.
