Ultimately atto has been right all along. Not that I’ve ever doubted your judgment atto, God is real, I’m happy for you.

Atto, there is a God thank God.

So, 'now' God IS A "magician".

Do you also BELIEVE that God is A "he magician"?

Five.

Wot is your point?
That all decisions aren't binary. Oh, and you failed, BTW.
Owe, i am certain U R the failure..
'you failed' is a LOT DIFFERENT TO 'you are a, or the, failure'.

God is every thing.

No thing is everything.

Infinity with a twist. That’s the thing about love. It keeps coming back.

Think back to the source of thoughts.

But you said I failed.

I picked a number ultimately as a BINARY choice and that number was 5. I also made the BINARY choice not to stick to your terms.
Well, you made the binary choice to choose a number and a second binary choice not to choose one between 1 and 3. But your choice of 5 among the infinite number of integers not between 1 and 3 is not a binary choice.
Shall I choose 5 or shall I not choose 5 (BINARY ultimate decision made)
Uummm... how do you think the idea of deciding to choose or not choose 5 (specifically, among the infinite number of integers) arrived in your head?

There's a difference between somfin arriving in my head, and me making a decision.

So you didn't decide to say "5"?

Sounds like a rationalization in search of an explanation.

Of course I typed '5'. The ultimate decision I made was 5 or NOT 5 - BINARY.

Could you give me an example where you make a decision and it's not binary? Ultimately, every decision is either Yes or No to that decision.

Yes, ultimately, one’s final decision is yes or no.
The mind can flip flop between yes and no decisions,but ultimately, yes or a no, is never a maybe.

For example: I ask myself, hmm, shall I eat two doughnuts or three doughnuts. And the mind will decide, it’ll either be a yes or a no to eating three doughnuts or two doughnuts.

Decisions can never be undecided. A Decision can never be a not-decision. Or a maybe decision.

Yes, ultimately all decisions are binary decisions.

Did you say "yes" vs "no" to saying 6? And 7? And 8? Etc. Probably not. If not, then among an infinite number of integers, you decided to consider 5 (not binary). After that non binary decision, you made a second binary decision to, in fact select 5. Of course after your non binary decision to consider 5, you might have made the binary decision to not select 5 and instead make another nonbinary decision and select a different integer, say 6. An identical binary decision would have followed to make a final selection, or not.

U clearly have an issue with simple binary logic.

Actually, you are now appearing extremely daft.

Did i say "yes" vs "no" to saying 6? And 7? And 8? Etc.

Obviously I said NO to EVERY integer other than 5 <-- I said YES to 5 motherfucker!

Ah yes, cursing. The crutch of the unimaginitive.

Predictable.

Prey? Are U cursed? :twisted:

So.

Provide a decision U can make that has no ultimate binary value, a yes or no to that decision.

I go to get ice cream from 31 Flavors. I use (as do most folks) a multistep process involving several decisions to make my selection. There are 31 possible options, my first decision (which happens to be non binary ie 1:31), is to consider what I usually select, pistachio. I next make the binary decision not to. I make a second non binary decision to consider strawberry (1:30), finally I make the binary decision to get a strawberry cone. Nowhere did I make 29 other binary decisions to NOT pick chocolate, vanilla, rocky road etc. Those never entered my consciousness.

Tomorrow I go to my kitchen (which has a quart of strawberry ice cream in the freezer). I only consider having a strawberry cone, which of course is a binary decision.

These two scenarios are not identical.

Your description of decision making, only yes vs no, applies to simple, single step decisions where the potential final outcome can be known in some detail at the time of the decision making.
