11 min – politics is not about getting people together to identify/debate problems.. it’s about getting people to make decisions.. most of software so far .. doesn’t capture very well what decisions are made.. and how carried forward into future.. - Smári

In psychology, decision-making is regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several alternative possibilities. Every decisionmaking process produces a final choice that may or may not prompt action. Decision-making is the process of identifying and choosing alternatives based on the values and preferences of the decision-maker.
In psychology, decision-making is regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several alternative possibilities. Every decisionmaking process produces a final choice that may or may not prompt action. Decision-making is the process of identifying and choosing alternatives
based on the values and preferences of the decision-maker.
Decision-making can be regarded as a problem-solving activity terminated by a solution deemed to be satisfactory. It is therefore a process which can be more or less rational or irrational and can be based on explicit knowledge or tacit knowledge.
Human performance with regard to decisions has been the subject of active research from several perspectives: Psychological: examining individual decisions in the context of a set of needs, preferences and values the individual has or seeks. Cognitive: the decision-making process regarded as a continuous process integrated in the interaction with the environment. Normative: the analysis of individual decisions concerned with the logic of decision-making, or communicative rationality, and the invariant choice it leads to.
A major part of decision-making involves the analysis of a finite set of alternatives described in terms of evaluative criteria.

2 formal ways to make decisions 1\ democratic – vote on things 2\ monetary – symbol value money and votes …two sides of same coin…

how does democracy decide to not do something,… ie: anonymous deciding not to kill someone.. if any one person can pull trigger.. how do they all collectively decide not to do this… you need a function/institution that says.. hey guys.. remember we weren’t going to do this.. institution is just something that reminds people… what if we get rid of all process and focus on long term memory.. - Eleanor indeed.. how about.. self-talk as data (as our trail/backpack of long term memory) – where each alive person reminds themself daily.. and.. no one bent toward ie: killing.. because everyone has something else to do redefineschool.com/self-talk-as-data/ redefineschool.com/gershenfeld-something-else-law/ redefineschool.com/smari-mccarthy/
15 min – we have agency… we get to actually go out there and do things/change things.. we don’t have to wait for permission from existing structures in order to act.. 21 min – on watching the wire – because it’s basically about agency.. what you can do… on a daily basis.. how to figure out what you can
do and do it.. you all do this.. but somehow
we haven’t captured any method for tweaking/expanding agency yet.. perhaps..

perhaps we need to let go of the whole idea of deciding.. (at least in regard to killing all other opportunities) redefineschool.com/decide/
imagine being brave enough, awake enough, open/free enough.. to let our choices/decisions be antifragile
two ways decision making is perhaps different today 1\ unlimited choices 2\ commitment/finality/definition/consensus… as irrelevant
coming to and sticking to a decision – may seem better.. (ie: unu puck & magnet ness)… but it’s not real enough.. it’s not eudaimoniative enough.. and so… not sustainable enough (saw 1st hand w/ clickers) redefineschool.com/louis-rosenberg/ redefineschool.com/eu-daimon-ia/
these two things (unlimited choices and irrelevance of consensus) …

less about final/formal/consentual decision making and more about thinking…being curious.. as the day. redefineschool.com/as-the-day/ perhaps we design a mechanism that listens w/o agenda to our curiosities.. and then coordinates/facilitates us toward each other.
