RS4 - Would You Let a Coin Toss Decide Your Future?

While listening to the podcast from Freakonomics titled "Would You Let A Coin Toss Decide Your Future?" I began to think about what they were talking about in the beginning of the podcast when they were talking about a prior podcast they had that dealt with people quitting things that they have been doing for a long time but just are not sure about anymore.  They interviewed people and asked what they had quit, and there were some decisions you just do not understand.  The first one they mentioned was a man who was a professional car racer who decided to quit because it was not something for him.  Now that same guy uses a coin to make decisions in his life that dont have a lot banking on it.  For instance he uses a coin flip to decide which restaurant he would like to go to.  Another woman quit her job to become a escort. A very strange decision that she thinks fits her.  Life is honestly about how you personally feel and if you are not enjoying something then you can just step away and not think about it anymore because it is just not a factor in your life anymore.

Life comes with many choices and every choice you make will affect your future.  You may regret some decisions and you may love some decisions but in reality you cannot go back and change them because what is said is done and it is set in stone.  But im a firm believer in every decision you make will eventually pay off in some way.  Whether it is a small decision or a decision that is life altering, there will be some sort of good that comes out of it. But as the podcast focuses on the fact that life is all about decisions, some people have used their podcast and took it to their life and applied it.  It made people think, one man said he has quit everything he is bad at.  He told his kids to quit things that they were not good at.  

Freakonomics has created a webpage where you can go to with decisions of all kinds.  You go through a series of questions that you ask yourself and think about and if you still are not sure then you can actually flip a virtual coin that is 100% real in the aspect that it can land on either side and there is an option where you can do the best 2 out of 3 to determine things if you are just really on edge about. To me this is really cool and maybe its something i would consider using.  But only for decisions that are small and would not affect me either way the coin landed. But I feel as though this site could also be dangerous because what if someone had a serious question regarding life or death and they let a virtual coin flip make the decision for them.  So in some instance this site could be harmful.  As you go through life make sure the decisions you make are thought out and is made for all the right reasons.
