Reducing reality to binary choices is what we do for toddlers to make complex ambiguous subjects more approachable. Let us know when you get past that stage of philosophy.

Or you do thing A. Or you do thing B. Or you do thing C. Or you do thing D. Or you do thing E. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Cause that's what a near infinitely complex causality is. Such complexity that it almost feels like free will because you can't imagine an actual infinite universe of true free will but imagine that near infinite complexity is actual infinite complexity. Stop embarrassing me as a proponent of a deterministic universe.

Sheesh. Even when I argue binary choices in the sense that you can either deal with X problem or solve X problem, I wouldn't boil it down to the point of saying it's a binary situation.

Let me know when you understand that you either do something or you don’t. Something either happens or it doesn’t.

I already told you that it's the first step of being trvly big brained so I'm clearly several steps beyond that.

Or any number of other things happen because the world isn't a video game. I don't even know what you're trying to get at unless your brain is just a fog you're desperately trying to escape from.

The number of things that happen doesn’t change that they either happen or don’t happen.
