Is Time Random?

is time random:

it is commonly thought that each event leads to another and that the course of history can be described as a whole chain of events which have led us to the present day. this must be in some sense true of course but what of the random and unpredictable nature of everyday life? things that come out of nowhere, thoughts or actions that cannot be explained. is this just an inadequate understanding of how it all works?

consider the concept of independent events. is there no such thing as everything is connected and everything influences everything else? it may be the case that there were independent events near the start of time but surely not now?

imagine a display chart of repeating events. to an observer would they recur in a way that seems random?

finally, are people indeed random in nature? are we impulsive or are we driven by logic?
