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?

There's a lot of academic research into decision-making already-- it's a super hot topic in psychology right now. Dan Ariely, Daniel Kahneman, Charles Duhigg, Richard Thaler are some of the modern journalists that have written about this topic. Check them out.
