Why can't men believe this outrageous truth?

And, be challenged to spell correctly.........

 

Yes it means what it says. The world in totality.
The word "choose" is not used in the Gospel of John however.

The operative words are "come"/"believe".

Come to the light. Believe in the Son of God.

Every man which comes into the world is given enlightenment

John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.​

A few/some/many come to the light​

John 3
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.​
