You don't believe in it either way Evie (you said above). I wouldn't say I 'believe' in it. I simply accept/ understand the common but somewhat limited usage. I also understand the mechanical nature of choices that would equate to lack of free will. Belief is unnecessary.
From the perspective of the 3rd person it isn't possible to predict a decision so there's fully a choice (from that perspective).
What about voting? The choice isn't a choice really. What government came into power was mechanically chosen and couldn't have been any other.
