The intellect is free to decide whatever it likes.
There may be a pre-existing tendency or belief system which would exert pressure on the intellect to decide in a particular manner, but the intellect is always free to decide. The intellect is not animal instinct.
The fact that there is a decision process in play is enough form most thinking folks to understand choice...
It is like a muscle, most people like you who don't actually use their initellect have an advanced case of atrophy of the intellect....

Gordon, are you a Pink Flyod fan? Smoke alot of weed do you?
