Making social decisions with dice is a *dicey* proposition, but surely worth at least conceptually meditating on.

Well, actions do shape character — deliberate, albeit at first purely performative, efforts at becoming something are bound to have lasting effect sooner or later. That works both ways, good and bad alike.

The nice crutch that you mention actually sounds like a good idea. I'm thinking about how to go about it. For now, I'm facing a few weeks with limited opportunities for such an experiment, but in may… We'll see what happens. Thank you for the food for thought!

I'm going to have to get back with it one of these days, because I'm finding difficulty in making choices increasing with age.

It takes balls, though.

Wait... check that... in fact, it takes *cubes*.... ;-)

I've mostly come to consider "free will" a wishful fantasy anyway, so in a way dice-choosing is a path of sorts to what might be referred to as "en-lightening-ment" - as in reduced burden over potential road forks.
