This song is about an impending apocalypse. Once we learn the powers of "mind over matter", we are imbued with a beautiful responsibility to avoid today's ignorant society--or, perhaps as tempting, to unlock the minds of today's ignorant society. Robert Pollard warns us that technology is not going to aid us in the Final Battle. Becoming anthropomorphic--a hypothesis which would only become relevant in the notion of spirituality--may very well be the solution. Or the winners may watch the battle from a distance, and practice preaching philanthropy and Goodness to survive and help a few others survive. And the devoutly religious will learn to blissfully accept their deathly fate.

"that never fields the game of choice" = accept fate rather than stress over decision making.
