Choice, yes, but no free will.

2

Humans love choice, it gives them the illusion of freedom.

3

Choice is a situation that’s already conditioned by your nature and the impositions forced upon you by culture.

4

Choice is limited. Our very nature doesn’t allow us to choose to be a bird….or Napoleon.

What gave the existentialists their nausea? It wasn’t their freedom, rather, it was their lack of freedom: falling into a nihilist hole does that to you.

There are so many unknown drives that determine choice, that makes a person. Science has barely scratched the surface of these drives. “Everything that humans have viewed until now as the ‘conditions of their existence’ and all the reason, passion, and superstition that such a view involves – has this been researched exhaustively? To observe how differently the human drives have grown and still could grow depending on the moral climate – that alone involves too much work for even the most industrious; it would require whole generations, and generations of scholars who would collaborate systematically, to exhaust the points of view and the material.”

Every choice you make determines your fate.

Is this a paradox? The realisation of your fate is, itself, freedom.
