(from her blog) of a theory I once had, or a revelation I've had repeatedly in my life. Though I can't remember how it came about for my underaged self to be contemplating something like this I vividly remember doing so. Ready?
If a person does something then they are making a choice to do it based on all the experience and knowledge they've accumulated through all their time alive. With this in mind they are making the "best" possible choice they could make for the outcome they are seeking, in the specific situation that they are facing.
My question then is this; do you think you would do exactly the same thing over again if the day were repeating? I'm pretty sure I would, but of course this brings in to play the Butterfly Effect. Now I'm just getting crazy...

There's nothing crazy about thinking about the Butterfly Effect, I don't think, although it is a pretty abstract topic. I think it's especially interesting to think about the possible next days of Phil's life as he repeatedly screws up.
