Is there no such thing as "choice"? If there is, how is there?

It's a rather strange argument.

While, our desires depends on our brain chemistry, we can change those desires. And unless, our choices are somehow "pre-recorded" on some kind of schedule inside our minds, this idea sounds somewhat like its missing something.

Perhaps, the right answer would be - our choices depend on our brain chemistry, but our brain chemistry is fickle, which in turn makes our choices unpredictable.
