Yup, that pretty much sums it up. It should be noted that you don't have any control of your conciousness either.

It's depressing to apply that to the man and wife example. The men who stayed loyal didn't make the choice to stay loyal; they had no other choice.

Then again, such a man could take consolation in the fact that he is better than other men. Even if he had no influence on the outcome, he's better.

Well, I don't really find it depressing, just peculiar. But yes, you are right. On the other hand, if he takes consolation in it, he had no choice but to do so.
