Albeit super reductive
It seems like all of your feelings really do come down to chemicals in your brain (which are highly influenced by outside factors obviously). Fuck me, now I’m realizing all of my wants/desires are just certain feelings that may or may not be influenced by how others perceive me (i.e. social status)
I did not need this realization 😀 someone please tell me I am wrong
Caring about social status is a good idea because social status is valuable. I would be skeptical of anything even remotely close to "chemicals in the brain" because it's invalidating.
