Most of the time. My life has very few certainties.

If I do this then, this or that might, will or won't happen. That is applicable to almost every decision throughout the day, from when you should rise from the bed and when to enter it again at the end of the day.
What are the odds I will not be too tired tomorrow if I stay on Answers a few more hours? Should I or should I go to bed, but if I do persist, then I might find a solution to some problem that I really want to reslove.
For some this type of thinking won't be a conern at a given point because they have already assigned the probablities, and drwn a conclusion, and will simply respond to the predetermined conslusion. But in any case probabilities have been assigned and decisions made.

I never do, I don't know what you mean by probability because I don't judge my perception of reality according to numbers, but I have started recently to doubt my perception of reality, I do at least once a day, and that changes my opinion on things, like arguements, what I believe to be right, and what the other person believes to be right, it's understandable, you get to the root of the arguement when you realize that it's because of the perception of reality, the absolute reality is unknown due to the distortions and biases of our minds, and it will always be like that, so I do acknowledge the falsehood my perceptions can hold but that's about it, sometimes I don't have the will to think deeper into it, otehr times I do

when you mean 'probabilities', do you mean that we question whether our perception of reality is as we view it? If thats what you mean, then yes, I do very often....sometimes i wonder if i'm the only one who thinks about this stuff all the time...great question though! its kinda like a question i asked before, asking if people thought that every human thought philosopically at one time or another...turns out, some people just think 'deeper' than others, and some think more often.

Considering I may be doing it subconsciously, I doubt I can give you a true number. My guess is that it happens quite a lot however.

Depends. Two or three, maybe. That's a really interesting question, never really thought about that before : )
