I have a playoff style bracket for choosing my next book. I’ll take 8 books that I’m interested in and assign them a number 1-8. Then I’ll use a random number generator to see who “plays” who. The first 4 books are the home team going across (obviously on the RNG I subtract 1 for each book already chosen). Once the 4 books are lined up going across I see who will complete with who using a RNG (subtracting 1 for each book taken out). Once the 4 matchups are set I’ll coin flip to see who moves on. Best of 3. Home team is heads. Finals is best of 5 since there are higher stakes. I proceed till I have a champion. That is the book I read. Fate has often blessed me

This is what Jaynes reffered to as divination. This is done when volition is steneous. Such practices are all too common now. We often see it on this very site when people post those "gets" images and ad naseum replies to roll for them are prevelent. These people want to write or interact with something but it is a trouble for them and this in effect relinquishes them from whatever was on their mind and whatever it was that brought them to a thread. The implications are worrisome.
