 Could there nevertheless be some truth to Rescher’s claim even if we understand “luck” as “out of one’s control?” Perhaps it does not make sense, for example, to say that a person is in control of who she is. For one could argue that this would amount to saying that a person is a self-creator. And in fact the Control Principle, taken to its logical extreme, seems to lead to just such a requirement (see, e.g., Browne 1992, Nagel 1986, 118). If it turns out that self-creation is conceptually impossible as many argue (e.g., Galen Strawson 1986), then perhaps there is a sense in which it is right to say that being in control of one’s constitution makes no sense. But it does not follow from this that it is meaningless to deny that one can control one’s constitution.
