A caprice can be just a fun impulsive act, but it also can be something done on a quick whim, without thinking it through or preparing for the change in direction. Having a sudden liking, or caprice, for someone or something can be short-lived too.

p.s. with the whim thing, it fits with the quote from the slate since people tend to act on their emotions
