He's basing it on the idea that humans always do what they think is right. And that they don't control what they think is right. A human will never deliberately make a bad decision. I think that's what he's saying. |
I make bad decisions all of the time, though. I even say, "Man, I know I shouldn't be doing this...." right before I do it. I'm totally random like dust in the wind.
But the OP would argue that the dust in the wind isn't random, either. Each blow of the wind (is "blow" the technical term?) is previously controlled by the rotation of the earth, the oceans current, the environment, the time of day, and the flap of the butterfly's wings in China. And maybe he's right about the dust. Me, on the other hand, I don't even know what I'm going to do five minutes from now.
