Title: There are only two types of decisions.

Decisions with a right answer.

Decisions with no right answer.

The way that I think about it reminds me of the 'Zero one infinity rule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_one_infinity_rule)', taken to a further extreme.

When a decision has a right answer, we can think of it as a problem to be solved.
We make these kinds of decisions all the time!
While we may not be able to discover the ONE right answer, we can judge our answer on a relatively objective scale of success. Is it more or less right than another answer?

When a decision has no right answer, we can think of it as an expressive choice.
We make these kinds of decisions all the time!
In the case of these decisions, there is fundamentally NO right answer, which means also that there are INFINITE right answers; we can judge our answer only on a subjective scale of success, and arriving at an answer involves leaning on our own process of judgement.
