Where is the boundary between the inertia of our biological processes and our choices of freewill? Does our choosing something change the probabilities of a certain outcome that is inline with our will? Or is the choice itself an illusion created by multiple layers of complex processes that are each simply following the shortest paths of least resistance?

It is only the effect that something has on us that we seek. Nothing has value intrinsically but the effect on our senses is where the value is. Would a rose be cultivated if it had brown petals and smelled like rotten meat? Would gold be treasured if is wasn't shiny and had unique effects as a material? Would sex be worth having if there was no friction/sensation and it did not result in reproduction? If only the effect matters, then what are the most valued effects? These thoughts were in my head after waking up around midnight. Sorry if they don't make sense.
