Would it be better to exist in a world where everything is deterministic or a world which is completely random?

I believe we currently live in a deterministic world, in the sense that the state of the universe at any time is entirely defined by the action of a given set of laws and principles entirely defined by the constants that govern it. The future is already defined, given the current state, but we just can't see it or predict it, even if it's predictable. However, we have free will in the sense that we can make decisions, but the decision we make is just one of the deterministic steps that leads to the future that already exists.<br><br>An alternate world with randomness is harder to imagine. In one case, it could just be that the past, present and future of the world is governed and determined by a set of laws, but that the universe is subject to random events, such as changes in certain physical laws. In another more extreme case, the universe has no laws, and everything is random, chaotic.<br><br>So, would it be better to live in a world where nothing is ever surprising, or one which is constantly changing with no rules?<br><br>Edit: I should have added one other condition to the first world - everything that occurs is caused by something else, not just governed and determined by a set of laws. This condition is part of what makes this world deterministic.
