Aleatoricism is the creation of art by chance, exploiting the principle of randomness. The word derives from the Latin word alea, the rolling of dice. It should not be confused with either improvisation or indeterminacy. LiteratureAn example of aleatory writing is the automatic writing of the French Surrealists involving concrete dreams, forgotten memories, and inexpressible propositions. There are many recent writers whose work proceeds from aleatory composition, including Jackson Mac Low, John Cage, and Joan Retallack. Luke Rhinehart's novel The Dice Man tells the story of a psychiatrist named Luke Rhinehart who, feeling bored and unfulfilled in life, starts making decisions about what to do based on a roll of a die. Charles Hartman discusses several methods of automatic generation of poetry in his book The Virtual Muse. From Wikipedia under the

Q. The Constitution has a clause on this subject. But Common Law which we do follow in USA also has a concept of "contrary to public policy" We have traditionally, for at least 150 years allowed the Courts to strike down certain contracts as "contrary to public policy" Beyond that, for the past 80 years we have allowed a wide variety of Executive Branch and Independent Agencies to prohibit certain contracts if they are milsleading, fraudulent or predatory.

You wrote: "Insurance is a bet. The insured is betting that he will get sick. The company is betting that he won't. " No. Everyone knows that almost everyone will get sick, the unknown is when and how much it will cost. Actually, insurance primarily is a risk spreading device, not just a betting game. That is why you can't take out an insurance policy on someone else's health. You must have an "insurable interest." Insurance allows individuals to share risk with other individuals, and spread the risk over time.
