Thomas Nagel wrote an essay on moral luck.
The very bad wizards discuss it in a podcast.
And lately I am becoming more and more aware of how much of it I have received.
It is at one time both strangely depressing and jaw-on-the-ground amazing to begin to believe that almost nothing in your life has come to be because of your willing of it.
"... it becomes gradually clear that actions are events and people things."
What implications this has for everyday living (rather than just fun philosophical thinking), I don't know.
