The Art of Indecision

I have been listening to these radio 4 programmes calle dthe art of indecision, they are realllly interesting. It basically talks abot decision making, and one programme is about how people recntly choose not to choose. Back in the day, when we were all living in caves, there wasn't a lot of choice really. The main concerns were food, like huntin n that, producing bambinos and not getting eaten by wolves etc. Now we have about 50 varieties of baked beans to choose from. Does that make any sense. In this radio programme it went on about people, and how we don't actually know how to make the decisions that we have to make, so people choose not to choose. Stick to what they know. Out of all the flavors of ice-cream, vanilla is ALWAYS the most popular!?? though its not even that good. It also had an interview with this man who has made every decision for 19 years by rolling a dice. Odds are the first option, and Evens are the second. He met his wife because he rolled a dice on whether or not to her, and it said yes speak to her. It made me think, you can never ever know the what the outcme of choosing the other option would have been, so why stress over making a decision? why spend hours and hours fretting over a decision, weighing up the pro's and cons, when you can never know if its right or not. This guy thinks that using chance is the only fair way to make a decision. I dont really think this, but i am interested in the role of chance. Is a decision made by chance equal to a decision not made by chance? RANDOMNESS. acknowledging accepting and celebrating it.

Having to make sense of things.. why can't things be random, why do we feel have to force an explanation onto what is random? Combinations
