Should you think about your duty, or about the consequences of your actions? Or should you concentrate on becoming a good person?

Per everything is different from everything else.
Difference is axiomatic.
"Sameness" is a claim. Justify it.

But you're not just saying that they're different words. You're assigning particular properties to them.

I am not doing anything of that sort.
ANY TWO THINGS (whatever their properties) are different.
If you are asserting "sameness" based on "properties" then justify those too.

You wrote "Decisions require information." That's assigning a property to decisions, and it was done in distinction to choices.

No, it isn't. Your interpretation is all fucked up.
Information serves as input to decisions. It's not a property of decisions.

No, it isn't. Your hermeneutics are all fucked up.
So no, it's not in distinction from choices?

I don't have to distinguish it. They are not the same. Axiomatically.
Information serves as input to decisions. No information -> undecidable.

Is the distinction decidable?

No. It's axiomatic. You don't have to decide.
Any two things are distinct.

How are we getting to the "decisions require information" part?

If you are going to decide "sameness" between X and Y then you have to have a criterion which obtains.

Huh? How does that explain why you're writing "decisions require information" ?

The criterion which obtains is what is required to make the decision THAT X is "the same" as Y

What in the world are you talking about? What sameness are you talking about?

YOU claimed that "choosing" is "deciding". You claimed sameness.
Provide the criterion which obtains.
