Comment on See Randomness

I'd find it hard to make abstractions if I assumed everything was random coincidence.

He doesn't say "see only randomness". It's a counter proposition against our tendency to assume too much.

Good point and I agree with his general sentiment. In fact, to throw in a political molotov, I wish the "see outside your self" was viewed by those who oppose the whole health care thing in the U.S. I'm in Australia but we tend to loosely follow a "veil of ignorance (wiki it if unfamiliar)" approach to this kind of stuff.
