I know of no reason to believe that ANY of us are 'CHOOSING' to do ANY of this - whether we BELIEVE it or not makes no difference and whether we simply CALL it 'choosing' or not makes no difference!
Indeed. I agree with you. I just think it's funny, because either we're exercising free will to argue about all this, or we're simply doing it without choice.
It's the same as religion - It doesn't matter how many people believe it's real and feel like it's real, in the end, we need evidence. The sense that we are free, and the amount of people who believe in it, has no bearing whatsoever on the reality of it.
