Binary versus analogue
There are two ways one can see the world. A qualitative way, which uses primordial parts of the brain giving you more analogue data in the form of feeling and intuition. However later in life's development came the neo cortex which moved 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 neo cortex is what has moved us from more ape like activity, having sex, 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.
