If loving things feels good then I don’t care if it’s chemicals it feels good so I like it
“Bro your brain is just like a computer that runs human.exe”
Lmao that sounds stupid, shut up nerd.
Its also just this simplistic sci-fi idea of if you just add more to a computer at some point it will be human and act as we imagine a human would, with some thinly veiled slave retribution fears hidden just beneath the surface.
What actual thing that exists isn’t chemicals
There aren’t many exceptions, but a couple do come to mind such as black holes and neutron stars. Oh and light!
I can’t think of anything else
Bit aside, that’s interesting to think about black holes and neutron stars as not being made of molecules or even atoms. Like if course they aren’t but I’ve never really thought about it that way.
wouldn’t they be made of iron and helium which is what the stars that formed them would be composed of by the end of their life cycle
Literally everything is chemicals
I independently came up with this idea when I was a teenager like 30 years ago, so everyone can blame me. Found out later in life I’m probably on the spectrum and (possibly relatedly) barely feel emotions compared to most people, which may have influenced me.
Rick and Morty and its consequences and so on and so on
Honestly, the first thing I thought of was the scene where Morty gets bitten by a snake astronaut and shockingly asks “Wait, there’s snakes in space?!” to which his grandfather replies “Everything is in space!”
