Is our fate determined?

hand. Additional information has more importance in his case, it has a greater influence on conscious decision and he will forbear the slap and put up with the lesser evil of a biting mosquito. But if we were dealing with a poisonous snake instead of a biting mosquito in the case of the intruder, the burglar would in this case forego his caution and try to parry the attack without worrying about causing a noise. The importance of prior information has shifted in this case. A certain period of time will always pass with any conscious decision. It would only be a fraction of a second in regards to killing the mosquito, because of the clear cut criteria, the decision happens very quickly. This is absolutely required because the triggered action to succeed would otherwise come too late. But if the conscious decision happens to be the decision to emigrate to Australia, the final decision, right up to its execution, will probably take months. Additional information would probably have to be gathered before, like for instance travelling expenses, immigration regulations, residence and work permits etc. Only after sufficient information is at hand and only after the necessary weighing up and processing of the information will someone make that decision (this also applies to animals) and this will always be according to the point of view of whether the ensuing action will benefit oneself or individuals close to one, ergo offer him or them a better chance in the fight for survival or give them pleasure. No sane human being does intentionally do something that could cause it damage in the widest sense of the word. The amount of prior information an individual will be happy with before making a conscious decision depends on the individual person’s level of intelligence, general knowledge and prior life experiences. 2.1 Conflict situation Interesting and remarkable are also the cases wherein the conscious decision has to deal with information that would have to lead to two opposite decisions. The decision is then made based on the information (including desires) that seems more important. One could also say that the more powerful motivation tips the scale. But what happens if the importance of the opposite motive is equally strong, when a virtual physical, delicately poised equilibrium exists? One then talks about a conflict situation . It can lead to a situation where the decision is made according to one of the two opposing motives in the best case scenario or where the individual (human being or animal) will do something senseless, get angry or becomes lethargic or something like this. The information dealing system of the individual, the brain has been overextended here. The cache of nexuses, logical circuitry and programs of the individual did therefore not suffice to come to a meaningful decision. These conflict situations are most probably those situations where genuinely random events take place in an acausal form, the like we are familiar with in micro-physics. The decision here is on a knife’s edge in the true sense of the word. A micro-physical process, comparable to the thermic movement of one or a few electrons and the development of a slight electrical current, can possibly trigger one of the mentioned behaviours in the existing unstable physical equilibrium. One is however not aware of any details of the here mentioned behaviours and assumed processes at this stage and one has therefore no concrete evidence of them, but to copy such behaviour artificially,
