What if you acting on impulse, without "thinking" or "deciding"? But whether that's even possible is a whole other debate.

It may be not random, but not random does not mean "thought out" or "pre-meditated". If you act by reflex or impulse, of course there are factors that influenced your reaction, but that does not mean you even agree with your reaction. If we take the fight or flight response for example, I might think I would rather fight and if given the time to decide, that's what I would do. But on impulse, I run away even if I didn't really want to do it. But well that's all speculation, I don't know much about philosophy/ psychology.
