Illusion of choice
The illusion of choice
Is a powerful placebo
People get to think
There are more choices
To choose from yet
They tend to choose
The one they would’ve
Chosen even when
There were no choices
There’s a comfort in
Choosing the known one
Even when unknown ones
Could be a sea change
To choose the known one
People still need choice
To assume having free will
Thus illusion of choice
Is just another coping
Mechanism to deal with
The total lack of free will
In this indifferent existence
