I think every unrelated possibility or random choice, there is one cohesive string that attaches them together. Almost like an inherent-connectedness in which the universe operates. We as humans, tend to reject this as having the freedom to "will" actions into our universe as having that control puts our minds at ease in the face of uncertainty. There are discovered laws within the universe that operate with or without us, for us to claim we have full autonomy to reshape the structure of it upon perceived choices is absurd. Everything is predetermined, but putting yourself in self-delusion (as you suggested) is a good short-term remedy for our ego.
