Not really. You're not necessarily talking about making choices so much as just doing things. That's perfectly congruent with a deterministic universe.

In a deterministic universe you bother because it's your nature to bother. If we're living in a deterministic universe then we're living in a society with a long line of bothering for no other reason than because it is in our nature to bother.

And even in a more abstract sense if you think we aren't in control of our choices for some philosophical reason, if you agree that for instance my choice to smoke crack vs not smoking crack will impact my life, you are agreeing that what I decide to do ultimately matters. Even if somehow my decision is predetermined. Which would render not only personal choice but political choice utterly irrelevant. |

Yet you guys rationalize most of your decisions via other means. |
