When we say that human behavior is unpredictable, we are right because it is too complex to be predicted, especially by ourselves. Our intense sensation of interior liberty, as Spinoza acutely saw, comes from the fact that the ideas and images that we have of ourselves are much cruder and sketchier than the detailed complexity of what is happening within us. We are the source of amazement in our own eyes.
