I'll never understand how our bodies can just be a bunch of organic chemicals, yet we still have thoughts, feelings, knowledge, etc.

And it's so fucking awesome, you, me, my laptop, we're all variations on the same principle song, the great chord of the universe as plucked by the stars, that in their death throes, produced the atoms we are composed of.

That's a pretty empty statement. You can trivialize anything through that sort of reductionism, where you neglect the intricate arrangement of the constituent parts forming higher-order structure. "Those pyramids are just piles of rock." "That bronze statue is just a lump of metal." "This poem is just a bunch of words." "This operating system is just 0s and 1s."

I'm sorry, but your attempt at profundity is a failure.

agreed

>> No.2248528

Yes, I do, as it turns out you sort of begin to marvel that fact. How can we even think with chemicals like hormones or pheromones? Whats depressing is when you come down to think of it we are getting closer to being robots instead of back to natural origin, but hey, I would much rather be the robotic arm than the work horse.

You neglect one important point. All those examples are man made. The chemicals that make up the human body just assembled themselves to create what we are today. The very first living organism was nothing more than a little water-filled bubble with chemicals reacting inside it.

How can you have a bag of chemical reactions? You mean a bag of reacting chemicals? What else would a body be but chemicals?

>> No.2248679

>>2248655
Chemicals reacting within bodily cavities which may be referred to loosely as "bags" I suppose. What else is there to it?

You are now aware life on earth is the universe's longest ongoing chemical reaction assuming life doesn't exist on other planets.

You are now aware all of humanity's power is nuclear power.

technically, since humans are as what op said, humans building such things is no different from water cutting through rock over years in a stream.
