Do you experience the qualia of red as a choice? If so, you cannot trust your senses any further than your own choices. But if you experience, for example, before taking an important call, that you have a choice to make, then you have a choice to make. The fact that the laws of physics may underwrite your experience has no bearing on this.

the color red is a matter of perception, not a "law of physics"
But do you choose to have that perception, or is it simply a consequence of looking at something that happens to be red?
