The Lie of Autonomy

Everyone is telling us we have autonomy, or it should be our goal, but do we really know what autonomy is? Do we actually have what we think of as autonomy? How does our choice play into this? Many people are doing things based on a lie of having autonomy. They are believing they have more control, predictive ability, competence and knowledge than they do. The way we use words matters a lot and this is one word that we have a very poor definition for. What we have autonomy over matters, using the term alone is not helpful. How can we appreciate, discern, this word in its proper usage?
