Montage Based Decision Making (MBDM)

The cognitive process by which an individual makes a decision based solely on the emotional gratification he or she received while viewing that decision played out in a montage movie style format. In this montage, the individual is the main character of a super epic story, in which they are better looking than they actually are. However, this montage has no connection whatsoever to reality and the end result is disastrous consequences, wasted time, and usually suicide before the age of 35.

Mick: Dude, I'm thinking of studying cinematography out West, I think I could be really good at it and I see myself in my head just killing it all the time and being dope.

Jack: dude, don't do that. That's Montage Based Decision Making (MBDM).
Mick: ye.
