A machine made to process thought, not to make decisions.
hi!
Welcome to Indecisiorama. I've always struggled with decisions, which has made the suspended anguish of ambiguity quite a familiar feeling to me. As a kid I drew a machine to help me make decisions, except it worked just like me; it analyzed, evaluated, processed, elaborated, and at the end it spit out the same inconclusive conundrum that it started with.
I learned to value that ambiguity, and with time, I began learning to live with provisional answers, to figure things out as I go, and allow myself to be wrong. I'm still learning that. But I do believe that when it comes to looking at our lives, the process of thinking through the nuance is more important than arriving at quick answers. Indecisiorama means to me learning to appreciate that process more, and being open to uncertainty.
at once it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously—I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason -John Keats
