If something still interacts with causation then it can maintain its ability to be non-random (choices), while being without a specific mechanism (cause and effect created through a deterministic material world). As for the supposed mechanisms of numbers and time, they are ascribed by us to make sense of a non-material abstraction. The only reason 2 comes after 1 is because that is how we make sense of numbers; the same idea is true for time (although, as was said earlier this is a much deeper topic). These non-material subjects are used in a material world only after we have confined them within material constraints so that we can make sense of them.
What shite.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
