For sake of argument, we will assume causality is real. If quantum randomness is truly random then 'this' neuron might fire before 'that' neuron which would be unpredictable. Even though there is "cause and effect", the initiation is non-deterministic.
How does randomness exclude determinism, exactly? What does it matter that you can't predict the effect, there's still going to be an effect and you're going to be bound by it.
