>How can you say that?

I have given my definition of choice several times already. Here it is again:
This is choice:
-I have beliefs and desires
-I consciously assess various ideas for what action to take, according to my goals, beliefs and desires
-I come to a conclusion, the decision is now made
No free will necessary.

>Free will is defined as, and I'll quote from the dictionary here

Don't bother. I'm not interested in free will. I am interested in choice. My dictionaries have not been useful there... defining it as 'selection', and then defining selection as the act of 'choice'.

To make sure you agree that entities interact with each other causally.
