Sure it could well be like this but LR is very very doubtful.
If this would be the case the universe would have disintegrated millions years ago.
I understand that some people win millions at lotto but the odds to win are one in a million while the odds to lose are the opposite so good or bad luck don't make any sense in this universal reality.
Sometimes people die of starvation because rich pigs at the top of the economic ladder sell crops for profit and let the workers starve (Irish Potato famine). Sometimes people have their life cut short because they are sent to war or are murdered by psychopaths. Diseases, shark attacks, bee stings! What is so mysterious about these things that you require a pseudo-mystical explanation?
LR : "If this would be the case the universe would have disintegrated millions years ago."
Perhaps if there was universal justice or a just god something should have disintegrated like rich pigs who let others starve while growing obese themselves. But since a just god does not exist we are stuck with laws and the will of the people.
LR: "I understand that some people win millions at lotto but the odds to win are one in a million while the odds to lose are the opposite so good or bad luck don't make any sense in this universal reality."
Whatever the odds people do win the lottery. Why does that need a pseudo-mystical explanation?
