Because we are a product of our genes and environment, we really have no choice (or we have one choice which is no choice). We feel like we have freedom to choose but we don't.

It would certainly depend on what I was choosing to choose or choosing not to choose, because how can one know if they would choose to choose or not choose if they don't know what they are choosing to choose or choosing to not choose?
