It's been shown that your brain makes it's decision several seconds before your consciousness is aware of it.

So, it just takes a second for the Ego to catch up with the Id

What does it even mean to make a decision if you're not aware of it?

I think the areas of your brain that would be responsible for carrying out the decision start activating before you're consciously aware of making the decision.

It's been a hot minute since I read the article on it, so I'm not 100% sure on the explanation.

More like 100-300 ms, but yes. However, this is much shorter time than to say “I do not know”
