Sounds like a bad case of determinism.

Thus luck rules supreme. — Purple Pond

Maybe everything you said was wrong, but you were just predetermined to say it.

Propositions beginning with 'all' and 'never' are always suspect because nothing is ever true in all circumstances. However...

Luck certainly plays a large role in individual success and failure. Like...

...When and where a person was conceived, gestated, and born
The genes of the ancestors are a matter of luck, as is the manner in which the parents genetic contribution combined at the time of conception.
...An unlucky child will be gestated in the womb of a woman who drinks, smokes crack, shoots up heroin, has AIDS and lives downwind from a lead refinery.
...If everything else is favorable, it makes a difference where one was born. It's one thing to be a genius born in Manhattan, something else to be a genius born in the middle of the Sahara desert.
...An otherwise favored person may lack the psychochemistry that yields a calm, steady, enthusiastic, ambitious worker.

Time and chance happen. Life sucks. It's not fair. Get used to it.

Are you talking about free will or luck? May be both?

If no free will then luck. Right?

I do agree that we don't choose our preferences and we all know it's our preferences that drive our behavior. If so then we could say that, and correctly, it all boils down to chance or luck.

However one interesting thing I'd like to point out is that while physical behavior can be explained in terms of a person's innate unchosen dispositions the mind is quite different.

I just noticed that the mind is capable of thinking almost everything. Is it our ability to imagine? I don't know but we can and we do think of stuff that are both in line with our dispositions and also against them.

I like burgers but my mind can choose to consider the possibility of refusing one when offered one. Sometimes this translates into physical form and I do actually refuse a burger.

This ability to think counter to our innate nature must amount to something, right? We give in to our nature because to do so makes us happy (chemical rewards in the brain). But we possess the ability to negate our nature and do something against it. At a very minimum we can think in opposition to our nature.

To me, it implies a level of control over our lives that we can't simply blame our luck. Of course not everything is under our control. So, some luck, yes, but all luck, no.

Think of it like traffic. We all drive our cars on roads but we can and sometimes do drive on the sidewalk or into restaurants or anything else. The road is our innate unchosen dispositions and driving the wrong way or on the sidewalk is a choice we have or, in a weaker sense, our minds are free enough to think of that alternative.

Your post is such a rambling jumble of ideas it is difficult to know where to start. Can you summarize in one sentence in plain English what is your precise question, or argument?
