A Faustian Choice is, in fact, no choice at all. For example, if I am at the top of a cliff and being pursued by spear-wielding natives, do I jump off one side of the cliff or the other? The fall is still the same, as is the result if I do not jump.
Wrong! The above definition refers to Hobson's Choice. A Faustian Choice is based on Goethe's novel where Faust sells his soul to the devil for knowledge and power. The "choice" is the metaphorical bargain of giving up one's immortal soul for a mortal life of power and knowledge.
