But at this point I think we're wasting time wringing our hands around the category of things that count as "accidents" into a reductionist vortex. You can really do this with anything if you try. The point is, that most of what you think of as your self-directed subjective experience, is a product of things completely beyond your control.
Whether we live in a deterministic or stochastic universe is really completely orthogonal to that point.
So by accident, you simply mean beyond our own individual control?

Sort of. But I think you might be getting hung up on the negative connotation of the word accident.
How are you defining accident?
Poetically? Romantically? Definitely not pedantically.
Okay, then I probably agree with everything you’re saying 🤙
