3 types of decisionmaking:
romantic, rational or herd.
romantic: decisions based on ideals, aesthetic value, raw emotions.
rational: decisions based on logical and/or empirical data and reason.
herd: being directed by social consensus and group decisions.
Noone is fully one-type but use different forms. Drugs, lifestyle elements (sleep, sex etc), company, other conditions etc will affect these ratios in use in context.
It is fair to say that most people have a dominant or typical form or ratio, and a dominant form may be recognised in a context.
A fusion of romantic and rational, with rational dominating.

I'd like to think I'm rational but I'm probably not.
>>38453662
Romantic but I keep it suppressed as much as possible with rational. Every now and then I'll feel impulses that I'll just act on even if they're not rational at all.
>>38453662
Partly rational and mostly whatever giving up and not bothering counts as.
By your definitions, that would be romantic, but that doesn't seem right.
Rational mixed with a rational-romantic

is "purely instinctive" an option?
Romantic is honestly best. Decisions based upon some unconscious notion of destiny are what leads men to their most defiant deed's. Follow the heart and not the mind.

>raw emotions.
The romantic category, though it's titled poorly.

that's the opposite of romantic really. romanticism appeals to the higher ideals and virtues. I just follow my basal instincts for the most part.

rational
Anyone who answers "herd" is a normie and needs to GTFO
>>38453662
Used to be rational. Now try to be more romantic since I've realised rationality is a meme.
>>38453662
Rational.
Emotions can easily get out of your control and eventually lead you to your undoing.
And being controlled by others kills your individuality, essentially making you another puppet of the system.
Literally no one is going to answer herd, even if it's true. No individual snowflake thinks it's part of the avalanche.

Read: I've always been romantic in nature, and considered so-called rationality to be a romantic ideal.
