inverting the relationship between randomness and meaning?

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Sat, 10/04/2008 - 8:00am.
I was very struck, this week by the range of responses to our query--seemed that we fell into two camps: either determined not to allow serendipity into our lives, or to embrace the chance events which happen to us as "fate." Also struck by the irony of our dissing serendipity on Serendip, I'd like to invite us to consider a range of other possible responses to (what might be?) the ultimate randomness of life; see, for example Evolution/Science; Inverting the Relationship Between Randomness and Meaning.
