There are two ways one can see the world. As a wave (analogue) or as a point (binary).
People tend to use the qualitative (analogue) part of the brain which uses low energy, primordial parts which function as intuition. However, the higher energy neo cortex moves decision-making away from the simple knee jerk emotional site and more towards the more complex hard logic.
All human decisions are a summation of these two forces, for instance, you might like to eat cake however unlike an animal with a smaller neocortex you know that eating too much cake may be to your detriment. The neocortex is what has moved us from more ape like activity, having sex and killing each other to more cerebral activities like writing books and contemplating the future. However it comes at a cost as there seems to be a duality of perception in life. It arises from Zeno's paradox of the Tortoise and Achilles. There seems to be an immutable transition between the binary world and the analogue world....
