I really don't understand your use of "decision" with regards to luck... There is no decision, just a description...

You never addressed this ......
****I am sorry to point it out but there is no luck in nature; there is only random events that our brain decides as what is or is not lucky
How do go about proving that?
It has sometimes been suggested that luck exists only if a certain interpretation of quantum mechanics is true: if causality is not “deterministic”. If physical determinism is true then every event that occurs is entirely predictable (in principle), by someone who knows enough about the universe and its laws.
If indeterministic physics is true, then such predictability is not possible: no one, no matter how much they know can predict every event that happens, even in principle.

That's exactly what I'm saying, to quote from the page : "Being "lucky" or "unlucky" is simply a descriptive label that points out an event's positivity, negativity, or improbability.".
Supernatural interpretations of luck can be a dismissed as ridiculous nonsense...

You keep missing the point from the very start I made one point regarding definitions and that was luck / chance are one and the same thing I’ve demonstrated this you’re flogging a dead horse but that’s so you isn’t it?

Luck cannot be a "fallacy", because a fallacy is the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning... Luck is a descriptive label, it's not even remotely a "reasoning"...
See, your last comment shows faulty reasoning, and is thus fallacious... Now, as your link to the wikipedia article mention, there are 2 very distinct interpretations of luck, those are completely different from one another.
The first is the naturalistic interpretation (where luck is just a descriptive label) and the second is the supernatural interpretation (where luck is an attribute of a person or object...), and you seem to move from one to the other as if they were the same interpretation in your argumentation...
As an analogy, it's like you were debating Quantum mechanics using both the Copenhagen interpretation and the Many-world interpretation as if they were the same... They both talk about the same thing (QM) but they are 2 very different things...

***** dee, I assume that you have a good luck charm as well, is it a 4 leaf clover, a rabbits foot and did your god of luck give it to you. you seem incapable of logic or something. once again, answer the question if a random chance event happened in the absence on humans, to whom is it lucky for> ? humans have to be there to put a label of luck upon the event.
I don’t troll the religious , I ask them to address what’s written in their sacred books but yet again you’re attempting to deflect from your naked bigotry and racism
***And since you favor insults rather than logic,
I never insulted you I called you a bigot , a racist and an , I stand by my initial assessment
***I guess you wont answer the first part of this paragraph, just the second. how can an event, a random chance happening be considered luck?
You seem to be arguing with yourself you and simple logic had you agreeing they had T V sets in Atlantis go away you silly bigot

You yet again demonstrate you don't understand the word "fallacy" and you should refrain from using it until you fully grasp the concept...
I'll restate because it seems to have flown way over your head, try to pay attention and respond to this specific point if you can.

**** look up both definitions and they strongly apply to you,
Zzzzz zzzzzz ......Yeah right says the guy who 8 people proved was a bitter little bigot
****/as well you are once again incapable of a debate.
logic as in you stating “ dictionaries are nonsense “ oooookay ? BTW where your new revised definition “ you said “ I can easily find “ ? You’re a lying bigoted
*****I feel sorry for you

Maxx.... A fallacy is the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning...... A false statement is not a fallacy, it's just a false statement... Can't you learn from your mistakes?
I'll agree though that fallacious reasoning can lead to the belief in a supernatural interpretation of luck, but luck itself cannot be a fallacy by definition, so stop saying it is you're making a fool of yourself and then whine that some people treat you harshly...
In the absence of human or otherwise sentient beings, improbable events/results would still occur in nature, there would just not be anyone to describe them... And those improbable events would still have objectively positive or negative outcomes, so the labeling as "lucky" or "unlucky" would still be valid absent humans... You have to understand that Luck is not an attribute but a description...
