If you honestly think the that chance and mere indeterminism=libertarianism then you do not understand so-called "free will". If it's all chance where does the willing come in? Will=willpower=willing=determining something (yourself, in part: your motivation, the part that you will (determine) yourself with).
How can you will something to be if it's all chance? It's a contradiction.
Chance=free in the sense of unrestricted by determinism. It does not mean free in the sense of being able to freely use your own WILLPOWER (free will) which is NOT chance.
Ok, finally, I ask you this: If Libertarianism truly=chance... how do you explain hard incompatabilism/pessimism the view that Arthur Schopenhauer Albert Einstein and myself subscribe(d) to?
