Something will make him choose one over the other. If they are both equal, then it could be anything. Maybe his neck itches, so he shakes his head and the first one he sees is to the left. He goes to it.
This is too open ended to provide any kind of satisfying answer. He will choose one, probably not at random (some factor in his brain will cause him to choose one over the other), but he will choose one.

That isn't a paradox at all. I don't see anything contradicting itself here....
