The main (highly) philosophical problem with there not being true free
will nor true free choice is that it basically nullifies the entire
concepts of sentience, independence and individuality. It's not you, a
sentient being, a thinking individual, who is making the choices. Not
really. Not at the most basic level. It's just a result of deterministic
cause and effect and completely random unpredictable quantum fluctuations.
You may be deluded into thinking that you are making choices, when in fact
you aren't.
