There have been brain experiments that suggest you make your decisions before your brain consciously articulates the decisions and reasons for them.

I’ve known people who I’m pretty confident make up reasons for their choices after the fact. But are they really lying if they believe what they’re saying?

The question is, am I any different than them? When I think about the reasons I made past choices, how can I be sure I’m not just making up shit now?

No, I’m not high. I haven’t had drugs in almost a week.

    Could it not be more of a thing that you are consciously acting in the moment but can’t mentally and physically reflect on that until it’s a memory?
