Problem is, quantum states are not 'chosen' until and unless one out of the many millions, even infinite, states become real, whereupon all the other possible states collapse and cease to exist. In other words, until you knew your decision, there was no way for you to know your decision. Your mind had many different options from which to choose, depending on the situation, but since you cannot consciously know your state of mind to the extent that you could predict the decision it would eventually make, you could not possibly know your decision. That's one of the reasons why, to quote the great sage, "always in motion is the future".
Also, Heisenberg showed that you cannot know everything about a particle simultaneously; you can know its position but not its velocity and vice versa, but the mere act of observing the one will affect the other in unpredictable ways. So it is fundamentally impossible to know all the variables.
Cool story, bro. Ever read any Ray Bradbury? Regardless, is that taken out of context as we are accused of doing, or is there some actual point you wish to make? Or both?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
