Title: How do we come to a decision ? The Science Of Choice ?
Post by: neilep on 30/08/2011 16:01:13

Dearest Decisonists,


As a sheepy I of course make decisions. Deciding upon something is one of my all time top processes that I enjoy doing that involves making a choice !



So, when I make a decision....what is the process that goes through my head to assist me in arriving at the appropriate choice. How do I actually make the decision ?...and what of doubt ?


If ninety out of a hundred people make the same decision about something then what does that tell us about the remaining ten's decision process ?


whajafink ?

"Eat S**t, 10 million flies can't be wrong".

Well, maybe not, but you wont catch me eating it.


I suppose its a mixture of processes. Logic, reasoning and (perhaps) influence.

If everybody is running down the street and you are running up the street, it might be reasonable to conclude that you have got it wrong. Or have you? Logic tells us there is safety in numbers, but you could equally reason that a predator might consider a whole bunch of prey is better than one.

Do you decide to read my post? After all, most of what I post is drivel and not worthy of wasting your time reading. But perhaps this time I will post something of great intellectual calibre.

Wanders off into the distance babbling on about some inane tripe.
