What is the basis for decision making?
It seems that all decisions by humans must be somewhat arbitrary.
There seems to be no reason why we should choose A rather than B. That is to say no law or possible empirical calculation.
There appears to be an infinite number of things we could do at any given moment from subtle movements, to using our lips to for an intelectual sentence, and much more.
So are we making decisions based on our own unconscious internal ideological agenda, or is there some other driving force?

Edited by Izak609: 1/11/2013 9:39:43 PMYes; both; I believe we react to so much stimuli in many unconscious and conscious ways. That in fact, the basis of all human thought is completely arbitrary-- we wouldn't be able to function otherwise; In the strictest actuality, there is no right or wrong, there just is. Which is why I find it rather silly when we contrast logic and emotion, especially as our thoughts hold even a physical presence, be it chemical or electrical, and our complete perception, what we understand as reality, is purely emotional, in our heads.
