How do random actions create a problem for libertarian accounts of free will?

Libertarian accounts of free will face a significant challenge known as the "intelligibility" objection. This argument posits that if human actions are indeterministic—meaning they occur randomly or by chance—they cannot be considered free.12

The core of the problem is that individuals possess no more control over a purely random action than they do over one that is deterministically inevitable. Because free will requires a degree of agency and control, an action dictated by randomness is just as disconnected from the agent's intent as an action dictated by determinism. Consequently, critics argue that if human behavior is merely the result of indeterministic events, then free will does not exist, as neither randomness nor causal inevitability provides the necessary foundation for genuine choice or moral responsibility.12
