You can't control your life - but you can tweak the chances.I thought it would be obvious, but maybe not, so I'll explain. The lesson I took from this video is that we have less control over our lives than we think. It's impossible to know how our decisions influence the web of causality, and the decisions that we think are good for us and others may turn out to be bad and vice versa. I'm not trying to suggest that people live their lives differently--only to recognize that we have less control than we think we do.

"No, but it would feel like it."
