Question regarding Flipism or taking decisions when based on a coinflip

[brocode]

Flipping a coin to take a decision sounds ridiculous but a lot of people seem to have clarity when doing it.

Everyone has coin side they are "subconsciously rooting for" and hope they get it.

Like for example even when you are deciding between Apple Juice and Orange Juice, you subconsciouly root for one, and u have a feeling of "disappointment" at least for a split second when that doesn't happen, or a little sense of dopamine hit when it does happen.

so my question here is -- are all forms of decision generators and in large, "Advice" useless and only used in strongfooting what we subconciosuly want? like a pat on the back giving us a greenlight to go ahead?

if yes, does this mean we deep down only partake in things or listen to people that we know will tell us somethingin our interests. and to what extent are we willing to bare with listening to thoughts with conflicting interests before we out them?

when people ask advice I think they are either lazy, or trying engagement, or rarely if something specific then it's genuine curiosity and bemusement

Decision isnt binary its a spectrum of how much you lean to either side of a problem 

sometimes there is no logical formula for the spectrum and to avoid the dilemma flipping a coin can be the most obvious answer to something which is inherently devoid of logical deduction at least at the human level

i dont think people ask for advice or flip a coin to get a certain answer, but they just have trouble when they have a concrete decision from an external influence because they are still somewhere in the middle of the decision spectrum, hence the inevitable momentary disappointment in response to either answer

the ideal solution is just to let go of all control. but you didnt really let go if you flip a coin or let someone else decide because that means you are still stuck in the middle of the spectrum. you have to let go of the spectrum entirely and disconnect from the problem and just go to a decision yourself.

In my opinion, if you were "rooting for" or "disappointed" with a certain outcome, it's better just to follow your heart.

Coin tosses are random, or sometimes programmed. Therefore, they should be used if the answer truly seems ambiguous. If you well know the answer, and you know that this won't help, just enjoy your choice you really want.

yes, even moreso than you describe

look up jb rhine coin flip researches

but for most decision making softwares/systems i think they only exist as legal fictions to scapegoat.

"i am blameless, the system is wrong/i made the best choice with the given infomations"
