While i'm certainly not going to argue against the chemical basis for human emotions, i will argue that while this is most likely true (though a good understanding of the human brain is certainly still lacking under modern science), thats not really what matters. Understanding _why_ those chemicals cause interactions in a particular case -- and that, is where the mystery lies, and something that you can't explain away. For instance, if i found ghetto booty simply irresistable, that'd just be. You may be able to trace a couple of neuron pathways & connections, but that doesn't answer why. All the hows and none of the whys.
I believed in science and all i got was this lousy T-Shirt.
