how do we make decisions?
the basis of decision is based on the availability of information and how we expereince and understand it. information over here refers to our past experiences, intuition, knowledge and self wareness.
we cant make good deciisons if we dont have enough information beacuse then we will have to deal with unkown factors and face uncertainty which would lead us to taking wild guesses, flipping coins and rolling dice. if we have some knowledge, experience or insights on a certain matter, then we can visualise the outcomes and achieve/ avoid it accordingly.
