i imagine it's a two way process. But then when you break down your life what are all your choices about? in the end you either get short term gain or long term gain from them. Do i eat this or that? Do i go to college or get a job now? do i have sex with this person or that person? all choices boil down to instinctive survival patterns.
More abstract choices you could argue are playing out a pattern ie What shall i watch on TV is just an echo of choice but we perceive it as some kind of proof of existence. in reality we are no more than plants robots if you like. but that doesn't explain rockets to the moon but i think that is more a social consciousness or part of the economic subconscious. i have no scientific evidence myself to back any of this up
