On Chemicals And Addictive Personalities (Briefly)
I feel like I'm dabbling in something dangerous.
I'm completely captivated, but suspicious of its potential to make the rest of the world an utter bore.
Those quantum physicists should have stopped with their leading question. Regardless, I wonder about their postulation that we're addicted to our thoughts. A short explanation may be possible. Human cells reproduce based on what they deal with in their environment, that is, if they are bombarded by emotive chemicals, their sister cells will develop with more receptors for these emotive chemicals. In the same way, neuron pathways are forged when similar chemicals fire frequently. In this respect, not only do people get better at what they practice by creating certain patterns of brain networks, etc, but people become chemically addicted to the chemicals produced when we say we're experiencing certain thoughts or emotions. This is all theory, and I'm very skeptical of science to begin with, but its interesting to entertain, especially in terms of example:
Addiction to people in terms of how they make you feel is easy enough. Where I feel like I'm making a leap (because I didn't take the space to explain my thought process) is when I assert that I could hypothetically experience withdrawal if I'm overcome with confidence. And vice versa, and this would tie directly to being indirectly addicted to others.
Ugh, I feel like I threw up all over the internet. Except every time I do that, I seem to get an 'A.'
If you really want me to, ask and I'll make an effort to clarify.
(it sort of bothers me that this can be interpreted so differently from how I see it)
