Yeah, so what? Of course every brain state you experience has a physical analogue. No one should find this surprising unless they are a dualist. What matters is the informational content of your mind, not the medium it is expressed in.

psychadelics are awesome substances, they clear your thoughts, open your mind and give you a different perspective on life and they are not addictive.

Ok, I'll bite. It's not that "just chemicals" is wrong, it's that it actually says nothing interesting, is some real "I fucking love science" shit parroted by retards, and completely misses what makes the mind interesting on not just a higher-order symbolic level, but the lower physical level as well. "This incredibly powerful and complex computer? It's just chemicals."

How about you expand on "it's not that 'just chemicals' is wrong" rather than going on as to how it's not interesting? Or is it that you forgot to give any arguments due to your statement being false?

>> No.7485101

>>7485080
Okay? Yes, your brain is comprised of electrochemical interactions. The mind is not a Cartesian non-physical essence. Every state of mind corresponds to a physical state of the brain. So fucking what? Again, it is the content of your mind that matters, not the medium it is represented in. The medium is arbitrary. You could represent a mind with enough abaci, or model trains, or gas particles.

Isn't it ironic that you show contempt for those that don't believe determinism, since you think it couldn't be any other way? Of course, you yourself have no control over that.

>> No.7485178

the chemical reaction in our brain is not defined as love so it cannot simply be it. it's like saying relaxing is just your body moving its bowls around.

the chemical reaction existed before the concept of love existed. how we know love now is not how we as a species have always known it to mean.

Even though I agree with you now, isn't the analogy of model trains or gas particles faulty? Isn't it so that why we can communicate and form ideas like we do partially due to the chemicals that are inherent to us (and our brain)?

The 'content' is also comprised of electrochemical interactions. You just describe them using, likely very flawed, folk psychology.
