Moral responsibility has to do directly and ultimately with circumstantial choice and intention, not with what happens. Tripping, failing to overcome obstacles, or any influences that are not bound in conscious moral decision making are not elements of moral responsibility. What one does, does not always follow what one intends to do. He's saying that actions are the sum of experience and genetics, and you have no control over either so no moral responsibility for your actions, regardless of outcome. I have no clue. Nobody does, though almost everyone will claim they do. But I prefer to disagree with him... makes life more interesting, eh?
