I don't think he knew what he was doing.
I've written on my blog about my own encounters with him; but the biggest thing that stands out was his naivete, his childlike perspective.
It's telling so many eulogies of him describe him as a boy.
IMO, it was his innocent perspective, combined with what he thought was the clear and obvious path, that drove him to do what he did, not understanding the consequences.
