Episode 6.38: Objections to pure randomness from such things as Ramsey Theory.

Ramsey theory says that any sufficiently extensive system must inevitably exhibit some kind of order. That means that when we look at the world will be likely to find order in it even if there has never been any conscious deliberate intention to put it there. We explore some of the implications of this view and we challenge one of the inferences that some make to the effect that there can therefore be no such thing as pure randomness.
