There is an answer to your question Alex, but it is rather complex.
To start with, we are biological creatures, not machines, so every brain is
either a little or a lot different to any other human brain that you encounter,
because reproduction does not produce exact copies, every body part, including the brain, differs in shape, size, efficiency, etc etc.
Your genetic makeup decides the fundamentals of you; maybe aggressive,
passive, inquisitive, lethargic, hyperactive, generous, introverted, brave,
retiring, the list goes on.
Superimposed on all this is the environment you lived in in your formative years. Your likes and dislikes, your outlook on life, your beliefs [religious or
otherwise], your manners; again the list goes on. All the items on this last
list are impacted upon to one degree or another by your parents and siblings, and to a lesser degree by other people close to you.
To cap off all this, some people are born with imperfections, and some of those will be in the brain.
Lastly, a person who is timid, dithery, lacking in self confidence, and unadventurous, will react to, or interpret, information differently to a
person who is at the opposite end of the spectrum.
All this means that the majority of people who are " normal or average"
will frequently make reasonably sensible decisions, but the people who are
near one end or the other of the spectrum will frequently make decisions
that are regarded as bizarre, unreasonable, evil, strange etc etc. The only
situation that can produce a single desired outcome, is a society where people have no say in what occurs in that society. Phew!
