Is there such a thing as choice ?

[Anomalocaris]

No free will, our brains are extremely elaborate multichannel Rube Goldberg machines containing both preprogramed and programmable parts. The behavior of the machine is determined by the input, the preprograming, the programing, and the state of biological construction and repair of all its parts. The perception of freewill is part of the mechanism, but even that part is fundamentally deterministic. The entire machine is ultimately deterministic, although due to the nonlinear complexity of the mechanism and uncertainties surrounding the exact values of all relevent inputs, its behavior might seem difficult to predict.
