I just finished reading Joan Didion’s essay “Los Angeles Notebook” on the Santa Ana winds. I’m not exactly sure what her view is on the winds but I know it’s negative and it reveals the mechanistic view of human behavior; however, I’m not quite sure what that means.

Does anyone know what a “mechanistic view of human behavior” means or Didion’s view on the Santa Ana winds?
Picador, I’m not sure if your right but thanks for answering. Does anyone else have an idea of what it means?
